[The Saint by Antonio Fogazzaro]@TWC D-Link bookThe Saint CHAPTER V 64/147
It is difficult to understand how faith can heal, but it is impossible to understand how these flowers can grow. The Lord would be no less powerful, no less good, if this girl had not been healed.
It is well to pray for health, but pray still more fervently to understand this great thing of which I have just told you; pray to be able to adore the Lord's will, when it gives you death, as when it gives you life.
There are men in the world who think they do not believe in God, and when sickness comes to their homes they say: 'It is the law, it is nature, it is the economy of the Universe; we bow our heads, we accept without a murmur, we march on in the path of duty.' Have a care that such men do not pass before you in the kingdom of Heaven! And reflect also on the manner of miracles you demand.
You come to be healed of the ills of the body, and for this you wish me to visit your villages.
Have faith, and you will be healed without me.
