Here's the story of a twenty-three year old woman who lapsed into a coma after a car accident. She had been considered a vegetable, and would've been starved to death if not for the persistence of her father in trying to persuade her mother, who had custody, not to withhold food and water. For now, she appears to be safe from death by dehydration, thanks to a new custodial arrangement between her parents.
In another story, a Serbian serial abortionist who worked under the former Communist regime woke up to realize that he had the blood of thousands on his hands. And unlike most who wake up realizing this, he turned around. No more bloodshed. From the story:
In describing his conversion, Adasevic “dreamed about a beautiful field full of children and young people who were playing and laughing, from 4 to 24 years of age, but who ran away from him in fear. A man dressed in a black and white habit stared at him in silence. The dream was repeated each night and he would wake up in a cold sweat. One night he asked the man in black and white who he was. ‘My name is Thomas Aquinas,’ the man in his dream responded. Adasevic, educated in communist schools, had never heard of the Dominican genius saint. He didn’t recognize the name”
“Why don’t you ask me who these children are?” St. Thomas asked Adasevic in his dream.
“They are the ones you killed with your abortions,’ St. Thomas told him.
There's even a nice dig at St. Thomas Aquinas in the end.
“Influenced by Aristotle, Thomas wrote that human life begins forty days after fertilization,” Adasevic wrote in one article. La Razon commented that Adasevic “suggests that perhaps the saint wanted to make amends for that error.” Today the Serbian doctor continues to fight for the lives of the unborn.
I wish everyone would have those kinds of dreams. Best turn around story I have heard.
