Although Hiroshima was destroyed by the atomic bomb and every person within a radius of 1.5 kilometers died, eight members of the small Jesuit community escaped unscathed.
Jesuit's house was left standing. Father Hubert Shiffer was one of the Jesuits in Hiroshima.
was 30 years old when the bomb exploded in the city and lived another 33 years of good health.
He narrated his experiences at Hiroshima during the Eucharistic Congress held in Philadelphia (EU) in 1976.
At that time the eight members of the Jesuit community were still alive. Father Schiffer was examined and questioned for more than 200 scientists who were unable to explain how he and his companions had survived through thousands of dead.
He attributed it to the protection of the Virgin Mary and said: "I was in the middle of the atomic explosion ... and I am still here alive and well. I was not brought down by its destruction. " In addition, Father Schiffer maintained for several years hundreds of experts and scientific researchers studied the reasons why the house, so close to the atomic explosion was not affected.
He
explained that the house was just one thing differently: "In that house the Holy Rosary was recited by all together, every day."
