Mary McKillop and the interpretation of miracles? McKillop was the first Australian to be made a 'saint' in the Roman Catholic church by the Pope, a key factor in this was the evidence of two miraculous healings done in her name. Phillip Jensen discusses: the scorn and offense of secularist commentators that prayer is effective, the error of Christians in how they interpret experiences and in looking to someone other than Christ to intercede for them and ultimately rests in biblical truths about prayer, intercession and miracles. Jensen warns of drawing false conclusions from experience and says that rather, experience must be understood in the light of God's truth found in his Word.
