Augustine — Retractations 1.13.7 (on De vera religione)
Likewise, what I said — “Those miracles were not permitted to last into our times, lest the soul always seek visible things, and the human race grow cold by habit toward things at whose novelty it once burned” — is true in a sense. For it is not still the case that when hands are laid on the baptized they receive the Holy Spirit so as to speak in the tongues of all nations, nor that the sick are still healed by the shadow of Christ’s passing preachers, and if any such things were done then, it is clear they later ceased.
But what I said must not be taken to mean that now no miracles are believed to be done in Christ’s name. For I myself, when I wrote that very book, already knew that a blind man had been given sight at Milan at the bodies of the martyrs in that city, and not a few other things of the sort that happen so many even in these times that we can neither know them all nor enumerate those we do know.

Item quod dixi: Nec miracula illa in nostra tempora durare permissa sunt, ne anima semper visibilia quaereret, et eorum consuetudine frigesceret genus humanum, quorum novitate flagravit, verum est quidem; non enim nunc usque, cum manus imponitur baptizatis, sic accipiunt Spiritum Sanctum, ut loquantur linguis omnium gentium, aut nunc usque ad umbram transeuntium praedicatorum Christi sanantur infirmi, et si qua talia tunc facta sunt, quae postea cessasse manifestum est. Sed non sic accipiendum est quod dixi, ut nunc in Christi nomine fieri miracula nulla credantur. Nam ego ipse, quando istum ipsum librum scripsi, ad Mediolanensium corpora martyrum in eadem civitate caecum illuminatum fuisse iam noveram et alia nonnulla, qualia tam multa etiam istis temporibus fiunt, ut nec omnia cognoscere nec ea quae cognoscimus, enumerare possimus.
