'Holy Father, God bless you'.<\/p>\n
Pope Francis walked among nuns of the Missionaries of Charity who were singing to celebrating the saint that bears his name, St. Jorge.<\/p>\n
The Pope was visiting the vaccination center organized by the Vatican for the homeless and those without resources. <\/p>\n
'Happy name-day.'<\/p>\n
'Thank you, thank you. I see what you all have done, Sister Maria and her group'.<\/p>\n
There the second dose of vaccines were distributed to those invited by the Office of Papal Charities and other charitable organizations in Rome.<\/p>\n
'I am happy because receiving the vaccine is already a great gift in itself. But then to also see the Pope...'. <\/em><\/p>\n 'It was a beautiful gesture, a beautiful surprise, if I may say so.'<\/em><\/p>\n 'We all had to remain seated so as not to cause crowds but I felt like going and shaking his hand, because seeing him there is something that happens to you once in a thousand years.'<\/em><\/p>\n 'I got to see him up close and I even greeted him. I shook his hand.'<\/em><\/p>\n One of the priests in charge of the Office of Papal Charities wanted to give a special touch to the meeting. <\/p>\n 'Alright. The two of us at the same time.'<\/p>\n There was even a giant chocolate Easter egg to distribute among those present, which the Pope even took a small piece of. <\/p>\n Throughout the day the Vatican administered the second dose of vaccines to 600 people. Its goal is to fully vaccinate 1,400. <\/p>\n In addition to the Vatican, many of these vaccines have been paid for by anonymous citizens of Rome when they received their dose. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Javier Romero<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" April 23, 2021.
