Prayer - Do the Saints have power to work Miracles?

Q: Do the Saints have power to work Miracles? Some say that only God can work miracles.

A: The power comes from God, as does our very existence. In that sense, God is the origin of everything. But that does not refute the idea that saints have discretionary power given as a secondary gift.

Suppose I’m drilling a hole in the wall with an electric drill. The electricity comes from the mains, and I make the decision when and where I drill the hole. But if somebody comes past and says, ‘Who made that hole?’ I would say, ‘I did.’ I wouldn’t say, ‘The Electricity Company did.’

That’s what I mean when I say I wonder is this not a mere semantic question? Some people are so frightened of treating the Saints as gods that they divest them of any meaningful power at all. I maintain that this is not the Catholic attitude.
