Last Sunday morning, August 4, 2013, on a lonely open stretch of Missouri highway, 19-year-old Katie Lentz was struck head-on by a drunk driver, 26-year-old Aaron Smith.
Emergency workers struggled for an hour and a half to free Lentz, pinned inside her mangled Mercedes, but to no avail. Medical workers told rescue crews that Lentz was failing and fast.
That’s when Lentz asked if someone would pray with her and a voice said, “I will.”
A silver-haired priest in his 50s or 60s, wearing the priestly garb of black pants, black shirt and black collar with visible white insert, stepped forward from nowhere. As recounted by New London Fire Chief Raymond Reed to KHQA-TV:
“He came up and approached the patient, and offered a prayer. It was a Catholic priest who had anointing oil with him. A sense of calmness came over her, and it did us as well. I can’t be for certain how it was said, but myself and another firefighter, we very plainly heard that we should remain calm, that our tools would now work and that we would get her out of that vehicle.”
Right after the prayer, the Hannibal Fire Department showed up with heavy equipment to cut through the metal. Lentz was extricated from the wreckage and into an Air Evac helicopter. At least a dozen of the rescue workers turned around to thank the priest, but he was no where in sight. The highway had been blocked for a quarter of a mile during the hour and a half rescue, leaving no bystanders and no parked cars nearby.
Adding to this mystery is the curious fact that the priest doesn’t appear in the 70 photos taken at the scene!Watch these 2 videos:

It just so happens that August 4, was the Feast Day of St. John Vianney who is the Patron Sainst of Catholic Priests who lived from 1786-1859.

This is a great story. I've already made up my mind about what happened.... Have you?
I read this story a couple of days ago on Drudge. It made my day. I am grateful that blessings from heaven continue to be received in a world that is rapidly choosing to reject God and His laws. There is a sentence in The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ that refers to people who were so wicked they were destroying themselves. Mormon, the Prophet at that time, wrote, "And there were no gifts from the Lord, and the Holy Ghost did not come upon any because of their wickedness and unbelief." I can't help but feel such sorrow for people who rejected God to the extent that there were no Gifts of the Spirit and the Holy Ghost did not come upon any. This miracle, posted above, brought calm to chaos, and good tidings. Reading it was a wonderful way to begin my day.

They have now located the priest, who apparently was en route between congregations. I can see how no one would notice his coming and going. After all, they were very busy. Gald he was there.
