Here’s a story guaranteed to make you think about God in our world.
Katie Lentz was trapped in her car after being hit by an apparently drunk driver. The “jaws of life” weren’t enough to free her, so “Katie asked those around her to pray out loud with her. That’s when they say a priest walked up from the north part of the highway. No one saw how he got there.” Indeed, the highway had been closed for several miles because of the accident. “Witnesses say he anointed Katie and her rescuers with oil, prayed with them, asking them to remain calm and saying that the crew’s workers would work.” When a neighboring fire department arrived, Katie was freed. Officials said 80 photos were taken at the scene but, “the priest did not appear in any of them.”
But read this from the local diocese. “Out of respect for the privacy of any priest who may have been involved and does not wish to come forward, the Diocese does not plan to further investigate this incident.” (KHQA, Quincy, IL; CNN) Really?
Could this have been an angel from God? God only knows but I can’t help but remember the passage, “Some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2)
