Emergency workers desperately try to save Katie Lentz, 19, who was trapped in her car for nearly an hour before an apparent miracle was performed by a mystery priest.

Amazing that they got her out but it was hard work and some brains...not a miracle.

The miracle was 19 years ago..."her birth".

It’s only rarely that one meets angels incarnate on this Earth; this girl, and all those present, had such an encounter.

A man showed up and prayed with them, told the workers the tools would work, then seemed to vanish from the area.

That’s not a miracle. That’s a guardian Angel.

Is it me or is it become more and more common for FReepers to comment on articles posted that they clearly haven’t even taken the time to read?

The victim (Lentz) trapped in the mangled wreck asked if someone would pray for her. A voice said, “I will.”

He was a silver haired priest who came out of nowhere. He had a bottle of anointing oil. No one recognized him. After the prayer and anointing of oil, the priest said she would now be freed. Just then the heavy equipment needed to free her arrived.

The rescuers went to thank the priest afterwards, but he could not be found. Of the nearly 70 photos taken at the scene, the priest does not appear in any of them.

He simply disappeared. Hwy 19 was closed for a quarter of a mile on either side of the crash. There were no bystanders.
Looking at the pictures one wonders where he could have gone? Only way maybe was up.

We need more of these encounters with the Almighty to bring this country back and bring out the believers. The end times may well be at hand and this is just what the on the fence Christians need .For some their faith alone is not strong enough.

I was driving to work early one morning with my carpooler.
It was still dark on Kamehameha Hwy driving down from Wahiawa to Pearl City. It was a four lane highway.

Walking on the grassy median was a man that looked 90 years old. He was dressed in a black suit and tie walking in a determined straight line with a cane. He looked straight ahead with a steady gait. His eyes almost shone.

We both saw him. We both looked back, and he was gone.
It was chilling to say the least.

My belief that it was an answer to the Girl’s call for prayer. My Pastor was just talking about this last Sunday. God expects you to take the first steep, even if it be a ting one before he extends his help. The sea parted, by it was the sinple act of faith when Moses extended his staff that started it.

Even if this priest was just in the right place at the right time, that in itself was a miracle - what are the odds. God indeed directs the affairs of men for his purpose at times.

I for one will be looking for follow ups of this story!
