A “small team” of poor people, under the leadership of St. Ezid’s group, came to Rome Gemelli General Hospital to express gratitude to the Pope. A woman gave the Pope a bouquet of flowers.
(Vatican News Network) On July 9, more than 20 homeless people from the poor’s home near the Vatican came to the window of the ward on the 10th floor of Pope Francis in the Gemelli General Hospital to express their gratitude to the Pope. The lady gave the Pope a bouquet of flowers. The building where these homeless people currently live (Palazzo Migliori) is a gift from the Pope to give no owners a place to stay. It is currently managed by the group of St. Egidio.
Jorge is a Peruvian who has lived in Italy for many years. He is currently a resident of this poor house. On the evening of July 9th, he will celebrate his 63rd birthday with other residents, but in the afternoon he is willing to join the other 20s. The homeless like him went to Gemelli Hospital to greet the Pope, pray for him, and say “thank you” to him. He held a card with the words “Pope Francis, we are by your side”. After reciting the “Sutra of God” and singing under the window of the Pope’s ward, Jorge told reporters, “We wish the Pope all the best and heal as soon as possible.”
Carlo Santoro, director of the center for the reception of the poor, said: “We came here at the request of the poor. They are very grateful to the Pope for opening the Vatican Building and for everything they have done to give them a shelter, including the When people are willing to vaccinate the poor, they give vaccines to those in need. Over the years, the Pope has approached each of them and invited everyone to be friends of the poor every day.”
More than 20 homeless people and leaders of the St. Aizhide community came to the square in front of the hospital again, standing in front of the stone statue of St. John Paul II and reciting the “God’s Sutra”. An asylum from the Poor’s Home named Maria led the “small team” to the front hall of the hospital and handed a bunch of flowers to the Vatican police on duty on the 10th floor, and asked him to pass it on Pope.
