Catholic News Agency Vatican City, Mar 3, 2018 / 01:09 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Speaking to a group of nurses on Saturday, Pope Francis thanked them for their valuable work and paid a tribute to the Dominican nun who saved his life when he was a young man. “[She was] a good woman, even brave, to the point of arguing with the doctors. Humble, but sure of what she was doing,” he said March 3. Francis told a brief story from when he was just 20 years old in Argentina. He was ill and close to dying, he said, when Sr. Cornelia Caraglio, who was a nurse from Italy working in Argentina, argued with the doctors about his treatment, “and thanks to those things [she suggested], I survived.” The pope told the story to help illustrate the importance of the profession of nursing, saying “many lives, so many lives are saved thanks to you!” Read Entire Article: https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pope-praises-work-of-nurses-recalls-the-one-who-saved-his-life-46075 Comments are closed.
