Question
Dear friend,

I´ve heard lots of things regarding the miracle of St. Gennaro. Does the church describes it as a miracle? Is it true that there are two vials of blood that liquifies sometimes during special ocasions?

Actually, what i´m searching for me is some kind of signature or evidence of God... Can you help me to find a strong evidence, a proof of his existence, is there some modern miracle that would definately prove the existence of God?

Thanks and very best regards,

Fabio.

Answer
The existence of God is proven not by "miracles," but by the reason and faith.  The most comprehensive proofs are most readily accessed in the First Part of St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica, which you should be able to find at your local library.  It will be a source of much fruitful study and analysis.
