In case you missed it, here’s a shiver-inducing story that’s pretty much gone viral. It took place at the scene of a car crash last Sunday morning, on a stretch of rural highway in Missouri ~
Aaron Smith, 26, struck (Katie Lentz, 19) in a head-on car crash on Sunday morning. After 60 minutes of emergency responders trying to get Lentz out of the vehicle (she was pinned between the steering wheel and the seat), rescue crews, at the young woman’s request, prayed out loud for her. As they did, (a) mystery priest appeared. According to accounts, he came out of nowhere and brought intense calm upon the situation.
“He came up and approached the patient and offered a prayer,” New London Fire Chief Raymond Reed told KHQA-TV. “It was a Catholic priest who had anointing oil with him. A sense of calmness came over her, and it did us as well.”
After another fire department showed up, the rescue proceeded easily and the tools worked, as promised. But when nearly a dozen firefighters turned around to thank the priest, he was gone; the road was empty. Since, no one has seen or heard from the man and his identity remains a mystery.Source: The Blaze
Not surprisingly, news like this takes on a life of its own. People are now saying the mystery priest looked like Walter Matthau.
Who knows?
For me, it’s a comforting reminder of the Lord’s omnipresence. And evidence that they’re truly are angels among us.
