A priest has been called to the hospital to baptize a baby who was born before it’s due date.
On his Facebook page, a priest wrote about a disturbing event that changed his whole life, not just as a priest.
Priest Ioan wrote about a scary event that changed his whole life, not just as a priest, on his Facebook page.
he was called to a maternity hospital to baptize a baby who had no chance of living. This happened there.
Something very important happened in the maternity ward after the sacrament of baptism.
“One day, Ilinca, a wonderful nurse, called me right away to the maternity ward to baptize a six-month-old baby who was born too early and was dying.”
I went with a heavy heart. I put on slippers, a mask, glasses, and a helmet, and then I entered the world of the war of life and death.
Around five, six, or seven months, dozens of babies were born and were having a hard time crossing the line of death.
One was so small—I think he weighed about 500 grams—but he was tensing his little hands and skimming his whole body.
Illinca told me that’s how he cries.
The sick child, who weighed less than one kilogram, was in a bad electronic stroller. I put on gloves and baptized him by washing him with holy water. Then I gave it to a milligram of Christ that was whole with a very small teaspoon.
“This baby hasn’t gained any weight since birth and is having a very hard time breathing, but they don’t want to die.” It was my turn to wait for him to enter the Church’s paradise.
Once I was sitting down, I looked at the baby in the incubator very carefully for a while. His face showed a deep sense of peace. He turned his head to look at me out of the blue and gave me the most beautiful smile ever. In my heart, a gate of light opened.
Did I not say that I was his spiritual father? I looked around and saw only two nurses running around with tears in their eyes. And the line of life from the electrocardiograph kept going, whistling over and over again and smelling like death.
Illinca told me that this child was waiting for you to baptize him. I was so upset that I didn’t say anything else. “But that divine smile would always be in my mind,” he said.
The priest’s post went viral, and many people were moved to tears by what they saw.
