Coronavirus: Italian priest dies after giving his respirator to younger patient he did not know


An Italian priest who contracted coronavirus has died after donating his respirator to a younger patient who was also battling the illness.

Friar Don Giuseppe Berardelli, 72, was the priest for the parish of Casnigo, a small village just 40 miles north east of Milan.

He died in hospital in Lovere, Bergamo, one of the worst-hit areas in Italy.

According to the hospital, he refused to use a respirator his parishioners had bought for him, and instead gave it to a younger patient he did not know.

Eternal rest, grant unto him, O LORD,
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Amen. :praying:


Priest who gave respirator to young patient dies

At least 50 priests have reportedly been killed by coronavirus in Italy.

Residents of Casnigo were reported to have applauded from their windows and balconies as the coffin was taken for burial. There was no funeral.

On Tuesday, Pope Francis led a prayer for the deceased doctors and priests, "thanking God for their heroic example in serving those who were sick".

This shows that the priest had found peace within himself and has abandon selfishness fully to be a selfless person who put a younger person in front of his own life.
