Our Lady of Good Health in Vailankanni, India… Although the tsunami left the entire town in shambles, the deadly waters did not touch this cathedral, and all 2000 people in it. The shrine, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, has an amazing miraculous story dating back to 1560 - and was the only building spared.
St. Thomas Cathedral in Santhome, Inda… The sea waves devasted the whole coast but did not touch the Cathedral and all the people who were in it. This church sits on the site where St. Thomas the apostle was buried. The cathedral saved hundreds of homeless tsunami survivors who took refuge in the cathedral during that horrible disaster.
Why wasn`t and why aren`t these incredible miracles not spoken about on the news??
I didn`t even know about it myself.
Please google this story, if you don`t believe me.
Wow, I hadn’t heard about that. Thanks for posting this. It’s not reported because so many people today don’t believe in miracles. Plus, people were focused on all those who did lose their lives and the incredible amount of devastation that resulted from the tsunami. These instances definitely speak of the great love and powerful intercession the Blessed Mother has for us. Hopefully this helped the faith of those who survived. I can’t imagine enduring something so tragic.

I really hope this is a poe. Of course, sadly I’m sure it’s not.
If you’re serious, I want you to think carefully about what you’re about to start praising your "God" for. If your "God" exists, on that day he ripped thousands of children out of the arms of their mothers and drowned them. According to your logic, God sent a Tsunami that killed 250,000 people, and we’re now supposed to shout that God is great because he spared a few in a couple of churches? That’s supposed to "strengthen our faith"? Are you serious?
The people in those churches were surrounded by gigantic stone walls. It’s not "a miracle". There were other people in the city who survived because they were in strong buildings that weren’t churches.

How about other Catholic Churches or churches in general that are destroyed in other parts of the earth by Floods etc?
What exactly are you saying?

What can you say but praise The LORD!

So God cared more about two churches than the over 300,000 people who died in that disaster? Interesting.
That’s probably why they don’t hold this up as a miracle.
By the way, do you know how many Catholic Churches were destroyed during the tsunami?
