Angel Sightings

Peter Kreeft in a few of his talks has made the off-hand comment that "angel sightings" are far more common than UFO sightings.  This article looks at the phenomenon of the "Third Man" who seems to rescue people from dire situations.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle; be our safeguard against the wiles and wickedness of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God cast into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits, who prowl through the world, seeking the ruin of souls.

Supposedly, St. Michael showed up at the altar of a catholic church in St. Louis, in 1940-something, right after the exorcism of the kid--a boy--who was the real-life person that the movie The Exorcist was based upon. Lots of people witnessed the event. I read about it in a non-catholic book, so there is a "positive admission from a (mildly) hostile source." The boy's family was Lutheran, so his parents took him to the Lutheran seminary in St. Louis (as I recall) and the Lutherans couldn't do anything for him. So the parents took him to a RC priest, and, eventually, the exorcism "took." And then the appearance of the angel at the church.

That's interesting.

My mother was part of a group that saw an apparition of Mary when she was very young.

I also know someone who heard a voice warn him that he was about to hit someone with his car one late evening.

These things happen.
