Miracles with Children in the Holy Gospel

Abstracts

EN

Among the many miracles performed by Jesus Christ during His earthly life were those related to children. Despite the problems associated with the precise definition of the term “child” as well as the almost complete lack of information on the age of the healed, it seems that at most five miracles of Christ concerning children can be considered. These are two raisings: the son of the widow of Nain and Jairus’ daughter, and three healings: the son of a king’s servant, the daughter of a Canaanite woman, and a possessed boy. The miracles of raising and healings described in the article are certainly only a part of this kind of occurrences that the Savior performed while on earth, because only they were recorded by the evangelists. They prove that anyone can participate in a miracle, and the necessary condition for a miracle to happen is faith, often combined with prayer and fasting. A kind of exception to this rule was the evangelical miracle of the raising of the son of the widow of Nain, that was done exclusively from Christ’s mercy, thanks to His compassionate human heart. Just as during His life on earth, Christ performed miracles by touch or just by spoken word, or even from a distance, so, thanks to the faith of the petitioner, He can do it at any moment nowadays. It witnesses, still bears witness of God’s infinite omnipotence, for whom nothing is impossible.
