Despite the violence of the impact, when everything ended, the six occupants of the vehicle were unharmed. “Without a single scratch,” says Jose María.
The father of the family recalls that, when the Civil Guard arrived at the scene of the accident, one of the agents could not avoid exclaiming with astonishment: “Pray a Our Father and a dust for how you have left,” he urged.
According to Narra Mayoral, several truckers and families who witnessed the accident were stopped to help. “Everyone agreed on the same thing: it was a miracle that no one would have been injured,” he adds.
For the family, the explanation was clear: his devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus was not only a tradition, “but a living and deep trust.”
“It was no accident that they had a picture of the Sacred Heart in the car, nor that from the courtship they would have cared for the practice of the repair communion of the first Friday of the month,” says Jose María.
In addition, he explains to ACI Prensa that his first daughter was born at the feast of the Sacred Heart, on June 8, 2018. The smallest received baptism on January 25, only two days before the accident, ”he remarks.

Protected to continue spreading your love
Days before the accident, the father had distributed prints of the Sacred Heart in his marriage team, insisting on the importance of repairing the offenses committed against the Sacred Heart on public television Spanish during the end of the year celebration.
The presenter of the Campanadas of the end of the year on Spanish Television, showed during transmission An irreverent stamp in which you could see the pet of a well -known program portrayed as a sacred Heart of Jesus.
After the incident, he did the same with whom they crossed their way: the civil guards, the emergency worker, the taxi driver who took them to his destination. “I gave all prints of the Sacred Heart with the 2025 calendar that I carried in my pocket,” he emphasizes.
In addition, in the car there was an “enemy hold” that had collected in the monastery of the Salesas, where he usually goes to Mass on weekends. That object did not recover after the accident, but states that “perhaps his destiny was to stay there as a witness of what happened.”
