A young woman was trapped in her car after a serious crash, her injuries severe. A priest appeared at the scene, prayed with her, and reassured her that she would survive. Moments later, emergency crews arrived, but when they looked for the priest, he was gone. No one had seen him leave, and photographs taken at the scene showed no trace of him. Some believe he was an angel, while others think he was simply a kind stranger who disappeared before anyone could identify him.
My Take: This story reminds me of the old belief that in moments of great crisis, something beyond our understanding intervenes. I do not know if I would call it an angel, but I do think there are people who show up exactly when we need them and disappear just as quickly. Maybe that is their purpose.
