'Miracles'
Later that evening Sister Encarnación and Father Tomasino reflected on the days events, the large crop of corn, and their new
acquaintance
Sister Encarnación told Father Tomasino, "It is a miracle, father".
Father Tomasino pensively said, "Miracles? Sister we are surrounded by
miracles. We have a farm boy from
Sister Encarnación replied, "Yes, father. But Jeremiah...what he did was
amazing."
Father Tomasino pensively replied, "Yes...amazing."
Father Tomasino continued saying, "When I first came here forty years ago,
and I was welcomed by Father Diaz, he said to me 'when an old preacher like me
passes on, someone always steps forward to take his place.' I didn't think much
of it at the time, but now, with Jeremiah, I'm starting to believe."
Sister Encarnación sighed, put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Please,
father, do not speak of such things."
