"We both thought to pray to St. Anthony!"
They say, "Two heads are better than one"
and so are two prayers to St. Anthony!
Last winter, on our way to Texas, the vertical wheelchair lift on our van malfunctioned. It was no wonder after driving through snow and ice on rough roads. We stopped north of Memphis for the night.
Our son, Joe, had to operate the lift manually in order to get my husband out of the van. When he tried to close the doors, however, a screw was missing. It was night; a freezing rain was falling, and the van was dark. We were searching under the seats, near the doors, and outside the van when we both thought to pray to St. Anthony.
While Joe tried to secure the door to the van, he suggested I look in the plastic pocket on the front door. I thought it was unlikely, given the location of the lift door on the side and the van and the pocket on the front passenger door, but I did as Joe said (like Peter casting the net as Jesus suggested.)
There was the missing screw! Thank you St. Anthony!
