miracles, but of miracles by truth. Therefore the miracles are useless.

Now they are of use, and they must not be in opposition to the truth.
Therefore what Father Lingende has said that "God will not permit that a
miracle may lead into error..."

When there shall be a controversy in the same Church, miracle will decide.

Second objection: "But Antichrist will do miracles."

The magicians of Pharaoh did not entice to error. Thus we cannot say to
Jesus respecting Antichrist, "You have led me into error." For Antichrist
will do them against Jesus Christ, and so they cannot lead into error.
Either God will not permit false miracles, or He will procure greater.

Jesus Christ has existed since the beginning of the world: this is more
impressive than all the miracles of Antichrist.

If in the same Church there should happen a miracle on the side of those in
error, men would be led into error. Schism is visible; a miracle is visible.
But schism is more a sign of error than a miracle is a sign of truth.
Therefore a miracle cannot lead into error.

But, apart from schism, error is not so obvious as a miracle is obvious.
Therefore a miracle could lead into error.

Ubi est Deus tuus?209 Miracles show Him, and are a light.

847. One of the anthems for Vespers at Christmas: Exortum est in tenebris
lumen rectis corde.[210]

848. If the compassion of God is so great that He instructs us to our
benefit, even when He hides Himself, what light ought we not to expect from
Him when He reveals Himself?

849. Will Est et non est.211 be received in faith itself as well as in
miracles? And if it is inseparable in the others...

When Saint Xavier works miracles. Saint Hilary. "Ye wretches, who oblige us
to speak of miracles."

Unjust judges, make not your own laws on the moment; judge by those which
are established, and by yourselves. Vae
