A young man driving the SUV suffered a seizure wheel and passed out, leaving the vehicle to smash into the objects and get hurled into the air. Bok stated later that the young man recovered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0a miracle,\u201d Bok told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicnewsagency.com\/news\/252705\/miracle-caught-on-video-priest-escapes-unharmed-when-suv-hurdles-his-car\">Catholic News Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did not know that that car went over top of me because I was looking ahead and it was to my left and above,\u201d said Bok, who is blind in his left eye and wears hearing aids. \u201cAnd out of the corner of my eye I sensed something went by, but I just thought it was a bird or something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Bok, he remained unaware of what had transpired until a police officer whom he spoke to at a restaurant after Mass showed him a video taken by a funeral home across the street from the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was in amazement that it had happened,\u201d Bok, who had spent part of his life as a physics teacher, admitted. \u201cOne of the mysteries is that it would happen to be that Oct. 2 feast (of the Guardian Angels).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what God was thinking,\u201d he quipped, adding that if he had indeed been killed in the incident, it would be a \u201cwin-win\u201d situation because \u201cheaven is going to be better than here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy I\u2019m still here and it\u2019s a mystery why I am when you look at that darn video,\u201d he concluded. \u201cWhen I see it, I just scratch my head and say, \u2018Thank you, Lord.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the parishioners at St. Andrew Catholic Church wrote on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SaintAndrewChurch\/mentions\">Facebook<\/a>, \u201cSt. Andrew is our parish. Fr. John always closes Mass with a corny joke, often involving a pun or play on words. His brother, Fr.
