I could have -sworn- someone posted a day or two ago about a priest appearing out of nowhere at a traffic accident in New York State, with remarkably similar details...
Blessed Padre Pio had the extraordinary gift of bilocation.
Ghost or angel? Wonder if there have been other incidents on that stretch of road.
This story certainly is a cheerer of the soul!
Physical description?
It’s a very nice story but I don’t think you need a miracle to explain what happened.
Everyone was panicking. A priest who happened to come along calmed everyone down and then they could do their jobs.
Commendable but not necessarily a miracle.
I’ve had someone dissappear on me before.
Specifically once when I failed a simple test of Christian virtue.
Angels are among us and we are oft unaware.
I would help and then disappear, too. The last thing you want is your name out there or media attention.
There are photos of him. I saw one.
No mystery, just Christ’s example in action.
I have a similar story but I won’t post it because you would think I’m nuts.
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.
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.
