I have had small miracles happen to me when meditating on scripture prayerfully before an icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The small miracles were sharper visions of the scripture before me with a feeling that it was not my reason that was guiding the "Ah hah! Why did I never see that before?" moments.

My grandmother was accompanied from Russia by a version of the Iverian Icon of the Mother of God.

Recently she was diagnosed with bowel cancer - the doctors did the initial tests, confirmed cancer and booked her for surgery. In between this time I and various clergy I know did various akathists and canons, including one for the Iverian Icon. The Icon accompanied her to hospital.

The surgery went like a dream - but evern more than that, the formerly malignanat tumour, when removed and put under a microscope came back as benign.

The doctors of course say they must have made a mistake and it was never cancer in the first place. Of course we know the truth.

The only question one must ask oneself is why the medicos consider the thought that they made a mistaken diagnosis less scary than the idea of a miracle wink

A dream together with circumstance brought me to a certain monastery named for my son's patron saint. There was a miraculous icon there which I venerated, and immediately after the visit, my son called to say that he was offered a job.

My youngest son Ilya was born on the feast day of the icon of the Mother of God "Inexhaustible Cup" on the Old Calendar (May 18). He was born at only 3 lbs and my wife was having some difficulty the first night getting him to nurse. I brought in the icon and prayed an Akafyst. While devotion to this icon is usually practiced to curb drinking, in this case (thankfully) it was promoted. After all, the Cup is "inexhaustible". grin
