My Holy Mary Statue
In 1999, my family and I had scheduled a flight to fly to America. The day before I asked my sister in law who lived in Yogyakarta to send me a Holy Mary statue to be put in my new home in America.
My husband, Nico, told my sister in law to deliver the statue in a truck from Yogayakrta to Jakarta, where my family lived. The truck that delivered the statue was the same truck that delivered heavy machinary used by my husband's father.
One morning, the Holy Mary statue was making its way from Yogyakarta to Jakarta in a truck filled with heavy machinaries.
Unfortunately, at 4am that morning, the truck got into an accident in the middle of the highway and the truck rolled over along with the drivers. The police called my family and informed us about the accident; thankfully, the 2 drivers that were inside the truck were alive. The remaining of the truck, the machinaries, and other contents were spread out on the road, broken down in pieces.
The police said that this specific area of the highway were known for having accidents that led to many deaths so it was a miracle that the 2 drivers weren't harm.
Other than the drivers, the Holy Mary statue also made it through the accident with only a small broken piece off her golden crown.
So how could it be that the truck itself, the machines, and every other contents that were in that truck got shattered into pieces and the two drivers and the Holy Mary statue survived?
Police say that the statue saved the driver and when the driver heard about the Holy Mary statue not being broken, they cried.
Now, Holy Mary is placed in our home here in America.
I will keep praying to Holy Mary and all to my family, friend and others to support me and hope my planning will continue according to God's will.
