Church communities are out in force to help deeply traumatised people in the wake of the deadly devastating earthquakes that hit Venezuela.
Priests, who have been accompanying the wounded in hospitals in Caracas, said “the reality is devastating”.
In a text message seen by Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), one priest said: “Before giving the sacrament of the sick to a mother, I asked her how she felt. She smiled, and answered: ‘I’m alive,’ and then added: ‘everything is going to be all right. I have just had both my legs amputated, but we are going to move forward.’
