God Works Wonders
If you ever go to Europe, you will probably visit dozens of churches. The most beautiful buildings—in Greece, Germany,
France, and other places—are churches! The first one you visit, you say, “Wow! Amazing!” The second one, you say, “Pretty cool!” But the tenth one, you might just say, “Oh. Another big church.”
But each one is a masterpiece. And each one probably took years and years to build! Today, we hear about yet another miracle that our Lord did for a person. Once again, He heard about a person who was paralyzed—he couldn’t
walk. Jesus wanted to help the man. So He did. He healed him, and changed his life forever.

SAINT ELIZABETH THE GRAND DUCHESS
When Elizabeth, the Grand Duchess of Russia, was married, the world called her the most beautiful woman in the
world. But she became even more beautiful with what she did in her life. Elizabeth lived in Russia in a time when people did not have much freedom, and life was dangerous, especially for the royal family. A rebel killed her own husband right in front of her eyes. But Elizabeth showed Christian love, and she visited the man in prison and forgave him. She asked him to become a Christian.
