The Man Without A Face

 

Here is a true story by Paul Harvey. You will be surprised whom this young

man turns out to be.

 

Years ago, a hardworking man took his family from the state of New York to

Australia to take advantage of a work opportunity there. Part of this

man's family was a handsome young son who had aspirations of joining the

circus as a trapeze artist or becoming an actor. This young fellow, biding

 

his time until a circus job or even one as a stagehand came along, worked

at the local shipyards, which bordered on the worse section of town.

Walking home from work one evening this young man was attacked by five

thugs who wanted to rob him. Instead of just giving up his money, the

young fellow resisted. However, they bested him easily and proceeded to

beat his body brutally with clubs, leaving him for dead. When the police

happened to find him lying in the road, they assumed he was dead and

called for the Morgue Wagon. On the way to the morgue, a police officer

heard him gasp for air, and they immediately took him to the emergency

unit at the hospital.

 

When he was placed on a gurney, a nurse remarked, to her horror, that this

young man no longer had a face. Each eye socket was smashed, his skull,

legs, and arms fractured, his nose literally hanging from his face, all

his teeth were gone, and his jaw was almost completely torn from his skull.

 

Although his life was spared, he spent over a year in the hospital. When

 

he finally left, his body may have healed but his face was disgusting to

look at. He was no longer the handsome youth that everyone admired.

 

When the young man started to look for work, everyone, just because of the

 

way he looked, turned him down. One potential employer suggested to him

that he join the freak show at the circus as " The Man Who Had No Face. " He

did this for a while. He was still rejected by everyone and no one wanted

to be seen in his company. He had thoughts of suicide.

 

This went on for five years. One day he passed a church and sought some

solace there. Entering the church, he encountered a priest who had seen him

 

sobbing while kneeling in a pew. The priest took pity on him and took him

to the rectory where they talked at length. The priest was impressed with

him to such a degree that he said that he would do everything possible for

him that could be done to restore his dignity and life if the young man

would promise to be the best Catholic he could be and trust in God's mercy

to free him from his torturous life. The young man went to Mass and

communion everyday and after thanking God for saving his life, asked only

that God give him peace of mind and the grace to be the best man he could

ever be in His eyes. The priest, through his personal contacts, was able to

 

secure the services of the best plastic surgeon in Australia. There would

 

be no cost to the young man because the doctor was the priest's best

friend. The doctor too was so impressed

by the young man, whose outlook now on life, even though he had

experienced the worst, was filled with good humor and love. The surgery

was a miraculous success. All the best dental work was also done for him.

And the young man became everything he promised God he would be.

 

He was also blessed with a wonderful, beautiful wife, many children, and

success in an industry which would have been the farthest thing from his

mind as a career-- if not for the goodness of God and the love of the

people who cared for him. This he acknowledges publicly.

 

The young man was Mel Gibson. His life was the inspiration for his

production of the movie " The Man Without A Face. " He is to be admired by

all of us as a God-fearing man, a political conservative and an example to

 

all of a true man of courage.

 

Mel Gibson has produced the movie " The Passion of the Christ. " This is his

 

way of thanking God for his many blessings. And it's also his way of

showing us how Christ truly suffered. He's gotten a lot of slack from

Hollywood for doing this movie. Watch the movie

 

It will change your life forever. Even I am waiting to see the same moment

in my life.
