The Deep End -- Miraculous Escape

I’m not much of a one for believing in miracles - at least the spectacular kind. At best, and with some effort, I can maintain an open mind. So, I take some comfort in what CG Jung - the eminent Swiss psychiatrist who died in 1961 - wrote in The Undiscovered Self:’Credulity is one of our worst enemies, but that is the makeshift the neurotic always resorts to in order to quell the doubter in his own breast or conjure him out of existence.’

Undoubtedly, the episode of Peter’s spectacular and miraculous escape from prison in today’s First Reading (Acts 12:1-11)qualifies as a first-class miracle. So did it happen as portrayed? In other words: was a reporter’s job done on it? Well, in the Sacra Pagina series of scripture commentaries, the comment on this particular story is that Luke’s primary interest is not to demonstrate its historical reliability but to have it serve his narrative purpose. Fine! Stories, whether in the Bible or elsewhere , are precisely that: stories, not reports.

However, that’s too large an issue to go into here. But miracles aren’t. And if it’s miracles that impress then there’s no shortage of them. How about a baby’s chuckle, a child’s laugh, a parent’s love, birds in flight, fish in shoals, atoms spinning, stars sparkling, brains working, spirits soaring, a blade of grass, a luscious flower, a weed? Let these miracles do their work. Let these dime-a-dozen miracles free us from our prisons as surely as that spectacular one freed Peter from his.
