Catholic Priest with coronavirus made the ultimate sacrifice for someone else with coronavirus… |
2020-03-24 |
[Right Scoop] on Giuseppe Berardelli, Archpriest of Casnigo in northern Italy, died on March 15 or 16 in a hospital in Lovere from the coronavirus after giving up his respirator to someone else who needed it, via Araberara.it. According to reports, Berardelli, who was 72 years old, didn’t know the person to whom he gave his respirator. They were reportedly younger than him. A google translation of the a healthcare worker in Italy is quoted as saying "And I am deeply moved by the fact that the archpriest of Casnigo, Don Giuseppe Berardelli ‐ to whom the parish community had bought a respirator ‐ renounced his will to assign it to someone younger than him." What a beautiful picture of exactly what Christ calls each us to do, caring for our neighbor, even unto death. It doesn’t get much more self less and loving than that. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15-13 |

#2 There are always those who set an example. An uncomfortable, inconvenient example. You can admire it while hoping your turn doesn't come to emulate them. Because then you have to. |
