“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.                “You shall have no other gods before me.                “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.                “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.                “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.                “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you.                “You shall not murder.                “You shall not commit adultery.                “You shall not steal.                “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.                “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Journalist and writer Vittorio Messori is the author of numerous books that have been translated all over the world. A tireless inquirer into the reasons underlying his belief in Jesus Christ, he has conducted a fascinating study of the most striking Marian miracle ever to occur. The miracle, to which we devoted considerable space in our last issue, took place on March 29, 1640, in Calanda, a small town in the Spanish province of Aragon. It consisted in the restoration, nearly two and a half years after its amputation, of the right leg to the living body of a young peasant and devotee of Our Blessed Mother of Pilar in Saragossa. The event made a huge stir in its day. It was immediately investigated and, after a long and exhaustive inquiry, certified as an authentic miracle.

Vittorio Messori has made it his mission to reacquaint the world with this forgotten event. After making many visits to Calanda and Saragossa and spending countless hours poring over the inquiry records and holding discussions with local experts, he has produced a remarkable chronicle of one of the most astounding and most thoroughly documented mysteries in history. The resulting book, entitled simply The Miracle, promises the reader not only a fascinating reading experience, but also a deeply spiritual one.

The fact of a limb being restored to a living body two years after it was amputated explodes the elaborate constructions of those who would question the existence of God. In his bestseller, The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins is merely the most recent in a long line of atheistic polemicists who would convince readers that believers are victims of a dangerous delusion.

When confronted with the plain fact of the Miracle of Calanda, the doctrinaire claims of Richard Dawkins with all their intellectual arrogance, dogmatism, and lack of tolerance for the views of believers, lose every shred of validity and only highlight the fact that it is not belief in God but atheism that rests on a grand delusion.
