to help the poor. His dedication to the service of the people,
particularly those who needed help most urgently, was total. He
adopted the words of Jesus Christ: "I have compassion for the masses."
Like Jesus, he multiplied bread to feed the hungry. The sick called him to
the bedside. His words of consolation and his presence were like soothing
balm for their troubled bodies and hearts. He had experienced
frequent ecstatic visions since childhood and his ever-present contact with God
was truly awe-inspiring. From this close union with God, he knew how to
draw countless blessings and favors which he showered on the many unfortunate
people who are suffering material and spiritual anguish. From Heaven, he
continues his powerful intercession with the good Lord for a better world.
