Which statement is part of the Catholic response to miracles?

Miracles never happen these days
Healing miracles show God's love for humans
Jesus' miracles were never recorded
Natural laws are never broken by God

The correct answer is: Miracles never happen these days

The correct response reflects a central tenet of the Catholic faith regarding miracles. Healing miracles are seen as a manifestation of God's love and compassion for humanity. These events are interpreted as signs of God's presence and action in the world, affirming faith and providing hope to believers. In this context, healing miracles demonstrate God's willingness to intervene in human suffering and illustrate the deep connection between divine intervention and human well-being. On the other hand, the idea that miracles never happen these days is not typically supported by Catholic teachings, which maintain that God can and does perform miracles. The assertion that Jesus' miracles were never recorded contradicts historical accounts found in the New Testament, and the claim that natural laws are never broken by God undermines the understanding that God has authority over all creation and can operate outside of natural laws when performing miracles.
