In 1981 my father was working construction and fell from the scaffolding he was working on 30 feet onto his head. He broke his 5th cervical vertebra (the same as Mr. Peters).

After he was brought to the hospital he was examined and x-rayed and left alone for awhile pending the results. He was in a panic. He was, obviously, concerned about his health and that his family would not eat if he wasn’t working.

In the midst of this panic he heard what he describes as an audible voice telling him to relax, that everything was taken care of. He immediately relaxed and despite the broken neck he was home 12 days later. He was back to work in just about 1 year, with no serious lasting effects. Although he was nominally raised as a Catholic, he had never allowed God into his heart. He is now an usher, CCD teacher, 4th degree knight and just all around jack of all trades at his parish. He knows that God took care of him (and us) that day.

I hope Mr. Peters has as good of an outcome as my dad. He’ll have my prayers.

I am deeply concened. Thomas Peters is a true hero: juts a smart, courageous, indispensable stand-up Catholic man. I will pray -- hard.
