Ultimately, it was the snowball hitting Mary which caused her to become “simple.” Hence, it was not revealed until later years that her “simplicity” was caused by a rock which was hidden inside of the snowball.

He changed his life around and spent the rest of it dedicated to helping the homeless. Joel’s change of character from being a tramp to being “the man who was delivered from devils by Our Lord” (Davies 135) subsequently occurred after Mary performed her first miracle on him.

    “BANG!” The bullet rang from the barrel as we ran along the gravel smothered pavement. I felt Jezebel’s cold arm rubbing against mine, and could hardly hear my father’s heavy footsteps trekking along behind us over my own breath. The second bullet rang through the air, it hit the floor beside us and the earth spat the gravel up at us. Pain ran through me; I could hear Jezebel sobbing from the rocks that had just made an impact with her lower legs. “OVER THERE, HURRY UP, I WILL HOLD THEM OFF!!!”…
