After the impact of the car shattered his body on the evening of January 11, 2004, …

… the hospital trauma-unit staff offered little hope that Father Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., would survive.

Then the news spread. And the prayers began.

"Apparently, by a medical miracle, I am still alive — having really been considered dead. One can’t miss the conclusion that when this happens, God still wants you here. … I don’t know what God has in store for me, nor do you know what He has in store for you; yet a conviction that must guide us both is ‘Your will be done.’ "

Now Father Benedict reflects on the good that has come — and continues to come — from that horrific accident. And, responding to questions posed by noted British journalist John Bishop in an interview before the accident, he reflects on:

• Founding the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal

• Spending time in jail for civil disobedience outside an abortion clinic

• Recognizing where God is when suffering intensifies and evil prospers

• Understanding Christ’s feeling of abandonment on the cross

• Discovering and living one’s vocation

• Loving the poor wholeheartedly

• Being "gently scolded" by Mother Teresa of Calcutta

• And more.

"I want to share with you two principles upon which I have built my life. The first is from St. Augustine: ‘God does not cause evil, but that evil should not become the worst.’ Second: ‘There are no accidents. Evil things occur because of bad will or stupidity or fatigue, yet whatever the cause God will bring good out of it if we let Him.’ ".

Time after time ...

We say, "If only I had lived when Jesus walked on earth, I would have followed Him day after day. I would have been His disciple, ready to serve Him in any way I could."

We listen to Our Lord's words that "I was hungry ... I was thirsty ... I was a stranger ... I was naked ... I was sick ... I was in prison ..."

We fail to pay attention when He tells us, "You gave me food ... You gave me drink ... You welcomed me ... You clothed me ... You visited me ... You came to me ..."

Jesus offers us the opportunity to follow Him day after day and serve Him by serving those in need. But just as Christ "hides" in the Eucharist under the appearance of bread and wine, it's easy to overlook Him -- to ignore Him -- in those who are hurting.

Based on Matthew 25:31-46, the meditations in When Did We See You, Lord? can help give us new ears, to truly hear Christ inviting us to serve Him. And new eyes, to truly see Christ waiting for us in those needing help..
