Why would Jesus do this?

It appeared on the news a couple of days back. The statue of Jesus (Divine Mercy with the heart exposed) in St. Michael's Church, Mahim, Mumbai in India suddenly started attracting attention. The heart of the statue had started bleeding! And people flocked from far and near and special masses were conducted.

Even though the priest said that this was due to moisture caused by the heavy rains that had liquefied the red paint on the heart and spread around, making it appear as if the heart was bleeding, people did not stop believing it to be a miracle or a sign.

Well, what do you think? Did the heart of Jesus really bleed? If so, why? Why would God do such as seemingly useless thing as making heart of his statue bleed? People would rush to the church like crazy for a few days, and then the issue would be closed, just as several such issues have been closed previously.

Cheers and happy mylotting
