Are miracles necessary?

Click here to read John Pearring's reflection from July 15, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
Only one prophet would be sent out in the earlier days of Israel. Jesus sent out twelve men, not just one. Then, he sent seventy. God’s miracles confirm his constant presence. Our repentance confirms our sinful nature. Be wary, but know the mercy and loveliness of Jesus. His ultimate response is for those of us who know that repentance is necessary.
John Pearring's reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
