\n\u201cAnd now, I will ask all of you for an act of charity. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not about money,\u201d <\/em>he said, drawing laughter from the crowd. \u201cEven though we might not know her, she is Baptized. She is one of us, she\u2019s a Christian. Let\u2019s express an act of love for her. First, in silence, let\u2019s ask the Lord to help her at this very moment. May He give her health. Let\u2019s take a moment of silence, then let\u2019s pray a Hail Mary.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
