Ta’ Pinu shrine ‘miracle’ in Australia

An Australian family from Melbourne City are claiming their son was saved by a miracle when he was involved in a near fatal car crash, close to the Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu Shrine in Melbourne. Three years ago Daniel Huf, then 29, crashed in his Porsche and was given up for dead by paramedics at the scene. By the time the undertaker came, however, the lifeless body had started twitching; his chest moved up and down spasmodically, irregularly. His faint wrist pulse indicated there was a sign of life again. The crash left him looking like he had been blasted in the face with a shotgun: his bottom jaw was broken in six places, sections were missing, he had broken eye sockets, cheek and nasal bones. Bits of Porsche and debris were embedded in his wound. Three years on, after no less than 10 operations, Mr Huf is leading a normal life. The accident took place on the Western Highway. Overlooking the scene of the crash there is a huge cross on the top of a hill at Our Lady Ta’ Pinu shrine. His parents, Lutheran Pastor Colin and Betty Huf, told Australian media that the cross now stands as a sign. “God was looking out for Daniel; he was meant to survive, with or without the help of humans.”...
