The recipient of the miracle has to have documented proof of the illness or injury. They also need documented proof that the illness or injury no longer exists, and that medical intervention can't account for this. An example of this would be medically documented proof that someone had cancer but then no longer had the cancer without having first had the surgery. The person whose intercession they sought is the dead person.

...and that medical intervention can't account for this.

It's a bit more stringent than that. 🙂

For instance, if I have a cold on Thursday and am cured by Friday without seeing a doctor or taking any medication or home remedies, then that would not be grounds for consideration as a miracle. In this case, it's just my body's immune system working as it should.

The correct criteria would be the absence of medical explanation.
