As a sequel to the e mail I sent you on the experience of one man who survived the ravages of the horrible experience of the 911 catastrophe in New York which he attributed to the power of the rosary, I would like to share with you my personal experiences in this regard which I do think is attributable to the power of the rosary.
I do pray daily the rosary whatever I may do without fail. It is my belief that this has helped me on a few occasions.
I have had near death experiences on at least 3 times in my life. The first time , I was in Chicago attending a Cardiology conference in the late 70’s. As always I did not wait for the end of the conference and on the Friday of the meeting I decided to leave early back to Los Angeles in the hope of catching an earlier flight.So I left my hotel early and urged the taxi driver to drive fast to the airport to enable me to catch the earlier flight. But due to the traffic we were delayed and I reached the O’hare airport a little too late and I was disappointed that I had missed the flight to Los Angeles by a couple of minutes. What a God send this was , as this was the DC 10 plane with over 300 passengers that crashed just after taking off from the airport. And , would you believe it , among the list of passengers who died was a Tony Ernest, an Engineer from Los Angeles on this fateful flight.
Another instance - again in the late 70’s, I was returning from Beverly Hills on the 405 freeway on a Friday afternoon after attending to my income tax affairs at my accountant’s office. As always the 405 is a very busy freeway, and I was driving back home in my Chevy Caprice classic car in the fast lane when going down the steep decline on the freeway near Mulholland drive, for no apparent reason, the car skidded and I lost control and it went right across the road crossing 5 lanes of heavy traffic and came to rest on the fencing on the extreme right of the freeway. How I managed not to be hit by any of the vehicles on that busy freeway remains a mystery to me to this day. In fact I remember a truck whizzing by me in what seemed like a few feet from me. How I escaped a major collision still amazes me.
The next instance - I was driving from Encino, where I lived, to Lancaster on the 14 freeway on a Wintry day after heavy snowfall. I was in the slow lane and near Acton a truck overtook me on my L side on the fast lane and as it drove by spewed all the slush and snow on to my wind shield completely disabling my vision. I went off the road and landed in a ditch, a few feet more and I would have gone down a precipice of at least 40 feet. How did I escape? I do not know.
Well as I have indicated I truly believe that there was a guardian angel looking after my well being and I do believe that my daily Rosary praying did in some way help me.
