The horrific crash site in Missouri |
The story of the priest vanishing from a car crash scene has received national attention.. the HORROR REPORT featured this article yesterday, along with many other news sources.
Last night George Noory dedicated a full hour of his program on Coast to Coast AM to the story..
And now USA TODAY is giving it some play, quoting emergency workers who are calling it a miracle.. Apparently the priest in question does not even appear in any of the 70 or so photographs of the crash site.
Yesterday the HORROR REPORT was not quite ready to call this a story of paranormal, instead figuring that something very normal and typical may have occurred.
Today, I am not so sure..
I was born and raised Catholic.. I cannot speak for the personal situations of persons in other religions, but I can describe the Catholic mindset. From birth through Catholic grade school, you have the catechism pounded into your brain with verbal sledgehammers and prayer punishments.. you live in fear that even uttering the word “hell” could send you into the fires of it. When high school hits, the birth of freedom sets in, and you question.. in your 20s, you still retain the residual pain of early childhood religious education, but you’ve moved on from it.. And by the time you’re in your 30s, everything gets murky. Everything in life does, too.. The meaning of it all.. the very existence on this planet is questioned.. we don’t know if we chose the right paths of career, personal lives, etc. And religion? Most 30 somethings I know have stopped going to weekly churches.. At least the 30 somethings who retain the Catholic mantle..
This story is real.. I don’t know what the meaning of it is.. however the fact that a dozen people or more, including Lentz, saw and heard this priest–but yet no photographs show him–is bizarre to say the least, and miraculous to say the most..
None of us reading this were at the scene–unless there is a rescue worker following in Missouri of the HORROR REPORT–so I do not think it’s fair to judge the situation according to our own personal beliefs..
The scene sounds like it was horrific, confusing, and dire..
And it is in those types of scenarios that things happen quickly.. and often the reality becomes much fuzzier..

Perhaps the key in this situation was Lentz asking the group to pray OUT LOUD. Very loud.. maybe strength in numbers brings on a miracle.. maybe a rising tide of collective consciousness lifts all boats..
Or maybe miracles an occur, and this is an example of one..
