Faith and Miracles, Miracles and Faith

"A cancer inexplicably cured.  A voice in a dream.  A statue that weeps.  
A miracle is an event that strengthens faith.
It is possible to look at most miracles and find a rational explanation in terms of natural cause and effect.  It is possible to look at Rembrandt's Supper at Emmaeus and find a rational explanation in terms of paint and canvas.
Faith in God is less apt to proceed from miracles than miracles from faith in God."
~Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking
