I was going to work last week and a woman in a car almost hit me. She came so close the wheels were probably inches from my feet and I actually felt it go by. She had a big 40 Days for Life car magnet on her door and a bumper sticker with the name of her parish church. I was on the sidewalk and I don't think the lady even looked back as she turned to get into the public garage. If she had hit me I'd have been badly hurt and in the hospital tonight. I wanted to yell at her but I was so stunned I just stood still. A priest can be an angelic pastor, the pope can be noble hearted and have the preaching tongue of St. Anthony but for the most part, people make up their mind about the Faith by their interactions with ordinary Catholic lay people and the lady with the parish and 40 Days for Life ads on her car didn't look to good to any of the witnesses on the sidewalk that day. If you're going to be a jerk or a menace at least put the rosary in the glove compartment and peel off the stickers.
Thanks be to God that the car and my flesh and bones didn't actually meet!
