St Stan Illustrated Story

85 T he karski family preserved the memory of a number of other unusual incidents connected with the life of the Saint Stanislaus. For example, Fr. Stanislaus occasionally went from the hermitage to the court at Lubocz to render pastoral assistance. He was met one day on his arrival by an anxious and unhappy James karski, whose son Joseph had fallen under the wheels of a wagon and been badly crushed. karski, pouring out his grief and anxiety to the Saint, took him straight to his son’s bedside. Joseph was in great pain and close to death. “Joseph, get up,” said Fr. Stanislaus, “and hurry along to serve my Mass!” At these words the boy, completely healed, immediately arose and hastened after the Saint to the chapel.
