On Thursday March 12th, I was driving home and came across an accident involving multiple cars on Park Ave (Between Glenwood and Washington Ave). Police and ambulances were on the scene. I drove past and had a passing thought that maybe I should have stopped and sprinkled Holy water around that area. Anyway, I got home, and received a call to go pick up our car from the repair shop. Since my wife was busy, I decided to bundle up (some rain and snow flurries) and use a scooter to go get the car. If anything, I had done the same thing in the morning after dropping the car off. I had used a scooter to get back home.
I got out, set up my phone for praise and worship music and scooted down Park Ave at 25mph. When I got to the intersection of Washington Ave and Park Ave.(Red light) I noticed the accident was still being cleared. I stopped to fix my music and wear glasses since the snow flurries were getting into my eyes. All the cars, that had stopped by the red light, drove off past me when the light turned green. I pushed the scooter across the street and got on to continue my journey. I got to 25mph and then I don’t know what happened. I had a terrible fall. I saw the scooter go to the right side and I fell to the left side onto the middle of the road. When I hit the tarmac I slid for about 4ft before coming to a stop.
Here is the miracle. I was not hurt. I didn’t break any bones. No bruises. Only a strained pinkie finger on my right hand. I got up, picked up the scooter and proceeded on my way passing by the accident scene again. The drivers on the other side of the road who saw me fall were surprised to see me just get up and go on. Even more surprising was that there were no vehicles behind me for they would have driven over me🙈. Thanks be to God for rescuing me. Ps. 91:11.
It doesn’t end there. On Sunday March 15th, I woke up early to partake in a special request, 6AM mass. On my way back home, I felt the Spirit leading home on a different route than the one I wanted to use. I obeyed…and this route would have me use the section of Park Ave where the accident was on Thursday and the same section I had had that terrible fall.
Well guess what, the section was blocked by police. There was another accident. This car had turned completely upside down. The wheels were facing the sky. So I parked my car on a different street. Took my Holy water and went and sprinkled over the accident scene while saying my Rosary (Hail Marys). After which I proceeded home. A side note…I tripped in the house while working in the garage. And I felt the pain from this small fall for a couple days. Yet the terrible fall at 25mph, I had no pain whatsoever only the pinkie finger got swollen and is still slightly swollen even now.
(The message to carry Holy water in our cars became clear to me thus and sprinkle it at accident scenes etc.
We serve a Mighty God. May He be glorified by the whole of creation
