One of 101 titles in the Saint Joseph Picture Books Series, this book by beloved author Rev. Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D. introduces Catholic children to the Miracles of Jesus

Jesus Christ performed many miracles during His life, which were special signs that showed His power as the Son of God. These miracles helped people believe in Him and showed God's love and care for everyone and that He was sent by God. One of Jesus' first miracles was turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. The wedding had run out of wine, and Jesus helped the people by changing ordinary water into the best wine, showing His power to provide for others. Jesus also performed miracles of healing. He healed many people who were sick, blind, or unable to walk. For example, He made a blind man see by placing mud on his eyes and then telling him to wash in a pool. Another time, Jesus healed a paralyzed man by simply telling him to get up and walk.

Jesus even brought people back to life! One of His most famous miracles was raising His friend Lazarus from the dead after Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days. Jesus called out, and Lazarus came back to life, showing that Jesus had power even over death. In addition to healing and raising the dead, Jesus calmed a storm. When His disciples were afraid in a boat during a big storm, Jesus told the wind and waves to stop, and everything became peaceful. This showed His power over nature.
