I like to think I would do the same, but I guess you never know for sure until that moment arises.

God bless him!

I’m a protestant who believes God has his people in every church. From what I can tell from scripture, this priest will come up in the 1st resurrection. Not the 2nd one. He comes up in the one you want to come up in. It’s all in Revelation.

We’ve been told that no one over 60 gets a respirator in Italy these days, so I’d take this story with a grain of salt.

The people in his parish bought it for his use. He gave it away.

Slap in the face for those who scraped up the money to buy it.

You think so? If these parishioners, in some measure, derived their idea of holiness and goodness from this priest’s precepts and example, then they would understand that they and he now had the privilege of being conformed more closely to the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ Our Lord.
