Miracles can happen

The Boston College Class of 1975 recently celebrated its 50th Reunion. One of those Golden Eagles is Joan Luise Hill, who is the author of two books about miracles. Her first book, The Miracle Chase, co-authored with Katie Mahon and Mary Beth Phillips, tells the story of the authors’ friendship, the miracles that happened in their lives, and the journey of discovery these events sent them on. In Hill’s case, her miracle was the survival of her 13-year-old child from a dangerous cardiac event. Hill and Mahon followed up that book with The Miracle Collectors (Worthy Books/Hachette, 2021), based on the outpouring of stories of other miracles, offered from their readers and others. As part of their own spiritual quest, Hill and Mahon have become unofficial miracle experts and have discovered that when people are truly present, miracles abound. The authors say that “the stories of courage, forgiveness, gratitude, faith, hope, and love allow us to notice and appreciate the miracles that are available to each one of us, while opening us up to a part of the Divine mystery we can absorb and understand.” Shortly after The Miracle Collectors was released, Hill and Mahon were interviewed for a Boston College Church in the 21st Century Center God Pods segment.
