This week's question for Fr. Barron comes from Dr. Paul Camarata - a neurosurgeon and host of the SaintCast podcast. Having experienced miracles first hand in his own line of work, Dr. Camarata asks the simple, yet profound, question of "what is a miracle?"
Fr. Barron's answer doesn't disappoint and offers one particular insight that made me think about miracles in a whole new way. Love it.

This is very interesting, and as a veterinary Dr, I love this analogy of intensifying nature. But I do wonder about those ‘miracles’ of saving of a person’s life.
In one sense - I could see it as that ‘rebirth’ of the person, as Christ says is necessary.
Or, I could see it as the alternate dimension, where God is maintaining what the world would be ‘like’ if George Baily was born.
Interesting part at the end on the Eucharist not being a miracle because a miracle is something “in this world” that can be seen. I love this new blog series, Matt!
Whoa. Definitely hadn’t thought of it that way, either.
Eucharist - 2 bliv it miracle is by faith. Blessed ar those who did seen but yet bliv.miracle not only wt u see. God bless
To add to Fr. Barron’s response, the church teaches that transubstantiation (which occurs at the consecration of the bread and wine at the Holy Mass) is as a mysterium tremendum as opposed to a miraculous event that we can witness with our senses.
