On April 17, 2008, Jack Wier will attend the Papal Mass at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. He considers his presence at the Mass nothing short of a miracle.
On May 20, 2007, Jack headed out to the back acres of his farm to continue working on digging a small lake. The site was 16 acres away from his house. As usual, he passed a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that stands near the site, made the Sign of the Cross, and said a short prayer. He drove his Bobcat (a type of heavy equipment) into the excavated hole and picked up a cottonwood tree to remove it. A large branch (5-7 inches in diameter) broke off and drove into his body, impaling him against the seat.
