Monsignor Jonas Abib began his homily: “Looking at Willian(sic), who was more serious, the Lord gave us a promise.<\/span> There is a psalm in the Bible – Psalm 117 – which tells us: ‘This is the Lord, a marvel in our eyes.<\/span> The right hand of the Lord has done wonders, the right hand of the Lord lifted me, the right hand of the Lord has done wonders.<\/span> I shall not die but live. ‘<\/span> William, that was the word about you: I will not die but live to recount the deeds of the Lord, to narrate the works of the Lord.<\/span> To recount the works of the Lord.<\/span> It’s no joke.<\/span> ‘The right hand of the Lord has done wonders.’<\/span> We did not see anything, just saw the risk, the danger, the possibility of death. “<\/span><\/p>\n

Missionary Heloisa Paiva, nurse, who closely followed the recovery of Willian, was describing the evolution of his\u00a0clinical picture: very serious condition, multiple trauma, intubated, sedated, inaudible blood pressure, many bruises, transfer to a better hospital, pneumonia, septicemia (generalized infection), fever, intestinal infection, pulmonary complications, tracheostomy, lung infection, renal complications and hemodialysis.<\/span>
\nEmotional, she said: “These were days of great suffering, a lot of struggle but of great trust.<\/span> (…) We felt this\u00a0sustaining of the\u00a0Prayer of the community, of the people.<\/span> We were embraced by the city with care … God took care of us, of Willian.<\/span> God has done wonders! “<\/span><\/p>\n
