Emergency workers and community members in eastern Missouri are not sure what to make of a mystery priest who showed up at a critical accident scene Sunday morning and whose prayer seemed to change life-threatening events for the positive.
Even odder, the black-garbed priest does not appear in any of the nearly 70 photos of the scene of the accident in which a 19-year-old girl almost died. No one knows the priest and he vanished without a word, said Raymond Reed, fire chief of New London, Mo.
"I think it's a miracle," Reed said. "I would say whether it was an angel that was sent to us in the form of a priest or a priest that became our angel, I don't know. Either way, I'm good with it."
Carla Churchill Lentz, mother of the teen who was critically injured, said emergency workers have told her there is no way her daughter should have lived inside such a mangled car. Of the priest, she said, "I do believe he certainly could have been an angel dressed in priest's attire because the Bible tells us there are angels among us."
The scene unfolded Sunday morning. Katie Lentz, a sophomore at Tulane University, was driving from her parents' home in Quincy, Ill., to Jefferson City, Mo., where she has a summer internship and planned to attend church with friends.

No pictures according to the other articles.
I have a similar story but I won’t post it because you would think I’m nuts.
That was my point: I was replying to somebody who’s assertion that the Priest was simply not noticed coming or going because they were too panicked. I was suggesting that cameras tend to be pretty unemotional observers :-)
Why do you post a picture of yourself?
Makes you wonder why it didn’t manifest itself at Newton.
The interface between eternal and finite is given both to men and to angels. It is so commonplace we take it for granted. It is so hidden that only those who have the Holy Spirit believe it. The biblical texts do not speak of miracles, but they testify clearly concerning signs; signs that, even when most clear and evident, are rejected by scoffers and unbelievers. The everyday occurrence of being born into this world is a "miracle" in it's own right, but we reject this arbitrarily because it is so commonplace.
It is the most earnest desire of the Creator to be our Father in Heaven. It is for this that we have been created, and He, being the Creator is not about to let us decide when, where, and how He will intervene on our behalf. He has written and spoken it plainly from the beginning. It comes down to "plain things" of flesh and blood, including a Man who prays at all times and in all places, along with those who abide in Him.
May e someone at the scene was praying
No one at Newtown was praying, prayers are not allowed in school. The kids are taught to be obedient about that
Large Marge?
You were asking for a description. That’s a composite from witness(s) according to an article on the Blaze.com.
Thank you... but why didn’t you explain it when you posted it?
Normally I provide a link and etc. Just happened that this time I was in a rush.
Okay-thanks again.
You’re welcome. It’s an amazing story - one the whole country is following!
It tells stories about people's encounters with Angels.
The account covered here is remarkably similar to many of the ones written in the magazine.
To exorcise the evil from Obama you will the intercession of Saint Michael himself

Yes, the old foxhole adage
Public school, though, no. They’ve got the fear of that god so ingrained ... There wasa piece about a teacher in Moore, Oklahoma last year huddled with her kids in a closet. She confessed that she snuck in a prayer.
Her groveling was disturbing. I mean they are NOT allowed to pray .
