I was called one evening last July by my son who is 20 years old. He said that his Jeep Cherokee had just had a tire blow-out, and the vehicle had careened across highway I95 while he was going South from Glades Blvd. in Boca Raton, Florida. I asked him if he was alright, and he said yes!
I told him that I would go and pick him up. I recall the time was 11 pm, and he had just gotten off from work. When I arrived at the scene of the accident, I saw his Jeep facing in the opposite direction (North) by the low concrete wall that separates the highway.
Near his Jeep was a Mustang parked that had collided with my son's vehicle. A few minutes later, I asked why was there a car upside down across the highway on the grassy bank. The owner of the Mustang said that the other driver had dodged hitting my son's Jeep, and he lost total control of his car. It was a rainy night, and the driver swerved and skated across the highway; eventually sliding downward on the wet and grassy side, causing the car to roll over on to its top.
This was a three-car accident, and only one person got seriously hurt. An ambulance had to take the driver from the car that sat upside down to the hospital. My son was shaken-up, but with no injuries at all. The lady in the Mustang told me the same for her. All three vehicles had to be towed away.
Where does prayer and holy water come in on this story? The Jeep Cherokee was blessed with holy water years back. My son is blessed every day with holy water when I see his picture on my laptop. I do the same for my other two kids. I say prayers for my children, and other family members every day without fail.
Anything could have happened that evening. The car that avoided him completely might have crashed right onto his Jeep, and very likely causing major fatalities. The lady in the Mustang saw what had happened, and she was able to slow down her car. She still hit my son's Jeep, but with less force. When my son remained in his Jeep in the middle of the highway facing the wrong direction, other vehicles speeding at 70-plus miles an hour could have crashed onto him, but nothing else occurred. The fire rescue people arrived on time, and they moved the damaged cars to the side of the highway.
We need to pray for our family members every day. We can't depend on others to do it for us, unless we are not capable of praying ourselves. There are many situations, conditions, and elements in our daily lives that we all need to avoid for our safety, and our lives if need be. For that protection, we have to ask for divine intervention. That can only come from praying and asking God.
How should holy water be applied? I mentioned in my previous posts to place the holy water on your laptop photos, or on hard photo prints with plastic on them. All that you need to say as you make the sign of the cross on the photo with your finger wet with the water is: "Dear Lord, please protect and keep safe (name person here), and I thank You very much." Just follow this procedure once a day. That will take you no more than a minute of your time. I suggest that you do it for your loved ones that commute to school or work, or both, or that might be living in other locations.
This simple ritual of prayer combined with holy water contains an enormous amount of power behind it. You are asking, not begging, the highest authority in the Universe to protect you and your loved ones. You have everything to gain by praying to God, so that you and your family members may live safely and peacefully.
If you would like to read more on prayer and holy water, please go to Ezine Articles on this page and browse through it. You will find three articles titled: "The Incredible Power of Prayer..."/ "The Healing Power of Holy Water"/ "The Healing Power of Holy Water Part II." Please click on any of them. I believe that you will find them quite interesting, and enlightening, I hope.
Be so kind to share this blog with family and friends. You don't know who needs to take a "new avenue" in their lives to find a solution to a personal situation, an illness, or a very important decision to make.
