The miracles of desire
Jesus gives sight back to the blind, makes the deaf hear and the paralysed walk, heals lepers, calms the insane, commands the elements of nature, transforms stagnant water into sublime wine, multiplies loaves and fishes, and, most importantly, raises the dead and resurrects himself. How can we understand his power (dynamis) without reducing it to supernatural phenomena? The true miracle he brings to this world is the strength of desire: it's not about the length of one's life, but how it can expand its horizons, how it is able to be generative, fruitful and grateful, and how it can become eternal – a life untainted by death.
