655. WHAT A MIRACLE IS A miracle is that which is done by the Lord when it is something that concerns Himself, faith in Him, His Heaven, or the Church in a universal sense, and thus it passes through His Heaven, and spirits effect it without any co-operative force of their own. This is a miracle, and it is called "the finger of God" [Ex. Viii 19; xxxi 18: Deut. ix 10; Ps. xiii 3: Lk. xi 20].
