I don’t know. I was thinking about how God’s miracles heal us in more than one way. Like in the Bible where Jesus healed a bunch of lepers but only one came back to say thank you. He healed their bodies, but they failed to avail themselves of His mercy on any other level. So, I think it would be cool to know the full effect over the centuries of having many faithful people experience a recurring miracle. Is it just a matter of an interesting physical phenomenon, or is the Living God acting in the lives of Napolitanos (sp?) in a way that is noticeable?

Also, the Devil does tricks, sometimes. His moves would mimic God’s miracles, I suppose, but would not have a fruitful outcome in terms of faith.

Just musing. I like miracles.

Well, I don’t think anybody’s been scientifically canvassing the city, asking Neapolitans (?), “How much holier are you because of the recurring miracle of the blood of San Gennaro?”
