I was walking home today and saw something glimmering on the floor in a gritty part of the road (dirty and wet, no one else would have seen it). It looked just like a tiny puddle with light reflecting off it (it was dark outside). I kept looking at it for some reason. As I looked closer and closer it became apparent that it had the shape of a cross. I stopped and stared at it for a bit longer (lol) and picked it up.
I looked at it in my palm and turned it over, it was a very very very small Crucifix! It was about 1cm high and half a cm wide! Small and silver… I was walking with my friends and they were astonished too. One of them (who is a Muslim) took it and said that he would love to give it to his sister back home (who is also a Muslim) because she loves small things like that and respects different religions (like him).
So I gave it to him. It was actually very very difficult for me to part with it though. I felt compelled to keep it, but I know that this is not what Jesus would want so I let him have it.

What do you guys think of this? I was astonished! Maybe she’ll keep it and it might plant a seed in her head…😉
 
I would have gotten it blessed first. 😉

Maybe it will, just maybe.
 
That’s a great idea! What a sweet story:p

I second the blessing, but since it was sort of unplanned it might have turned him off to taking it: (wait, I’ll give it back to you tomorrow! Why tomorrow? Um, getting it blessed?)
 
Haha, yeah, it would have been a perfect story if I could have got the blessing in there 😃
 
that reminds me of something, i thought it was more creepy, that happened to me…

so…i live in a small apartment complex…in my apartment its just me and my daughter…and…i’ve lived her, going on 6 years now…know all my neighbors…

none of them are religious like I am, and by that I mean I’ve never had any kinda religious conversation with them, theyve never made a point of telling me their beliefs…so i dont think it was any of my neighbors, and even weirder I KNOW it wasnt anyone of my family members…

well…after I had been here, I think about 3 years this happened…I walked up to my front door, and, up in the left corner, theres a light, you know- a sort of front door porch light, each apartment has one? it has like this little metal box cover…covered in cobwebs…I dont ever bother with it…

well i looked up one day and seen something, buried under cobwebs…like, a little plastic…bubble thingy…smaller than those ones they sell the toys in for 25cents? you know in the gumball machine things??

so i reach up and pick it up, shake it and theres something inside. I pop it open, and its a tiny, size of the end of my thumb, not even the whole thumb, silver statue of the virgin mary. my heart dropped into my stomach…

not my family, not my neighbors -who put it there??? SOMEONE is looking out for us and has us in thier thoughts…idk…it was crazy…

I still have it…and, the weird thing is i dont really have a patron saint, but the virgin de guadalupe is ALL OVER my home…i LOVE her…and here, she is, by my door…

trip out…

I don’t think that’s creepy… But I can guess who’s looking out for you…😉
 
Awesome! Maybe that tiny crucifix will plant a seed in the Muslim person’s heart which will grow into the possibility of conversion to the Catholic Church! 👍
 
One of the team members in my RCIA group returned to the Church because he found a Crucifix on the ground in a parking lot. He said it was like a 2x4 smacked him up side the head.
 
All I know is that God works in mysterious ways…

Thanks for sharing!
