i have a strong faith and once when i as wishing for something good to happen to someone i had a dream of The Virgin Mary and a big Church called "Panayia Tis Ntinou" which is is Ntinou, Greece. I never knew what the church looked like but when i described it to my mum and aunty they said that it was this church. Anyway, good came to the person i prayed for the very next day and a month later i had same dream again so i decided to go to this church with my mum and aunty. it was so beautiful and peaceful. when i entered a big weight lifted from me. I wish to go again as my faith is sronger and Virgin Mary has helped me so much i dont know where to begin. Anyone had something happen to them?

Not something similar, but I have lived non religion-related wonderful moments which I choose to regard as miracles.
By the way, it is Panayia tis Tinou (Παναγία ÏÎ·Ï Î¤Î®Î½Î¿Ï
), which means All-saint (feminine form, meaning Virgin Mary, of course) of Tinos (TήνοÏ, nouns have case changes in Greek). Do you have any Greek origin? I am saying this because this is the most famous church in Greece. Go to

I believe that miracles happen everyday, to varying degrees. Just the fact that I am able to begin a new day each day, is a miracle within it's self, since I take nothing for granted at my age.

You say you have a strong faith, but in what? Are you sure it is not superstition?
You speak of Mary as though she is greater than God and has taken the place of God. Is that not idolatry?
History is replete with many claims of miracles, predominately from superstitious people.
According to the Bible miracles do not normally result in a lasting faith or belief - But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? John 12/37-38.
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; Numbers 14/22.
Rather faith comes from hearing the word of God, Romans 10/17, which word is truth, John17/17, which the Spirit of Truth guides us into, John 14/26, 16/13, and only glorifies Christ, 16/14, not Mary.
Remember not all miracles are of God, Revelation 13/13-15 and may be so convincing as to deceive the true people of God if it were possible, Matthew 24/24.
Take care, test out the spirits, 1 John 4/1-3 for if of God they will glorify Christ and will always agree with the Bible which tells us there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved but Jesus Christ, Acts 4/12.
Indeed the whole Bible is about Christ,
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Luke 24/27, 44...
... and not Mary.

The Christians believe in miracles. Of course, there are also those who claim that God has stopped performing miracles after the original apostles were taken up.

Absolutely - seen many in my life. From healings to intervention - protecting people in dangerous circumstances.
Most recent is my wife's healing of an 'incurable' mental illness.
I praise the Lord for his goodness, love and mercy.
God bless.

Nope. You must live pretty close to that church or have seen pictures or heard someone talk about it. And how did 'good come to that person'? That's not very specific. If god is doing miracles, why isn't it ever something that couldn't have happened anyway or couldn't have been easily faked?

No. I have had 7 people die from my family, 5 within the course of a year, 2 on the same weekend.

I am a firm believer that miracles do happen. I think you need to be attuned to your spirituality to know that small miracles are happening everyday.

Most definitely. My entire life has been a miracle.

Yes I do, I am a miracle (I should have been born dead), and I have experienced many miracles in my lifetime.
