Dear Friends,

Recently, as I was driving on I-5, on my way to the

parish, I got a flat tire! My car is in good repair, and I was so

shocked by this sudden and inconvenient reality. A driver in

the HOV lane, seeing my situation slowed down and let me

over, where my car could be safely parked on the shoulder of

the road. I turned on my emergency flashers and grabbed

my cell phone as I quickly began to access the situation.

First, I called my husband for moral support while

looking for the number for the auto club. I knew they would

come and fix my tire, but I was on a schedule with people

waiting for me! I admit, I felt a little overwhelmed by my

predicament. As I looked up from my phone, I saw a young

man had pulled over a short distance from me and he was

jogging to my car. I stated the obvious, “I have a flat tire.”

He kindly responded with a chuckle, “I see that.” I explained

that I was calling someone to help, and he smiled as he told

me he could have the tire changed before they could get

there.

He was proficient, getting right to work. He found

the spare and the jack, and calmly set about his task. As he

worked, my bleak situation seemed brighter and I found

myself counting the blessings of this experience. First, the

sun was out which was much better than rain in this instance.

Second, the flat was on the side of the car away from traffic

and there was a barrier that made it feel rather safe given the

circumstances. And finally, the kind young man who stopped

to calmly and efficiently offer his assistance to a stranger

stopped on the side of the road..

I can’t tell you how many people just rushed by

while I was stopped on the road, or how long it would have

taken the auto club to arrive. I do know how to fix a flat,

though I wasn’t wanting to attempt it on the side of the

freeway. The young man who changed the tire dismissed my

offer of money for his service, and jogged back to his car as

calmly as he came. Since then, I have thought about him and

prayed for him often.

This is intended as more than just an interesting

anecdote. This is a reminder that our actions matter. We

come to Mass and are nourished by the Word and the

Eucharist and are then sent out to share God’s love with

others. This can take many forms—praying with or for

someone, being patient with others, (especially our family),

listening to someone who needs to talk, offering food to

someone who is hungry, helping someone who is stranded or

simply offering a smile to a passerby. What we do matters.

This week, let’s pay attention to the people around us,

watching for opportunities to serve God, by serving them.

Let’s continue to pray for one another,

Marti Lundberg
