glad you okay pft!

i have had close calls with getting run over by cars, but entirely due to my being at fault. when i was younger i would never walk anywhere in city without my earphones blasting full volume, and more times than i care to count i would be preoccupied with the music and get out of the way of car just in nick of time. i was a real hazard to myself and others.

Quote from: parentsfortruth

So I'm driving down the road with my husband for a late-night trip because we ran out of water, and there's this off ramp from the highway and there's a set of lights there.

The lights were solid green for us, and, hey, it's green, so I'm heading towards the intersection.

All of a sudden, I see this oversized load truck coming barrelling down the off ramp of the highway, and he RUNS THE RED LIGHT at no less than 45 mph right in front of us.

I felt the blood drain from my face. Right after this happened, my husband and I were talking about how we wouldn't have even known what hit us and we would have been totally DEAD if that guy had hit us with however heavy that load was. It was big.

Then I realized shortly after this happened, that I had the Saint Joseph prayer in my purse that I carry with me. On the card I have, it says this:

Whoever reads this prayer or hears it or carries it, will never die a sudden death, nor be drowned, nor shall poison take effect on them; neither shall they fall into the hands of the enemy, nor be burned in any fire, nor shall they be overpowered in battle.

Thank you, Saint Joseph. :shocked:

St.Joseph didn't just save my life, but the lives of my family also when we had a wreck that totaled the car and should have killed us. The people who stopped to help us were shocked to see anyone emerge from the car, and even more stunned to discover that nobody died.

Lucky me, it had to happen on the day that I didn't say the prayer that morning. It's a good thing I carry a Pieta book that has the prayer in it everywhere I go because I was ripe for hell that day and I didn't have time to say a complete act of contrition, just simply ask St.Joseph (briefly) to save me. Obviously he did.

Before I became a Traditional Catholic I was driving for work one day when it finally dawned on me that I should thank God for protecting me during all these miles I drive for work.. Shortly after that a car pulled out in front of me and I narrowly avoided it.

LESSON LEARNED! :wink:
