Levi of Nob
Young child victim of a sudden peritonitis. His parents call a doctor from Jerusalem while Jesus, whom they worship, is near. He sends them flowers that had just been given to him by little Faustina (daughter of Valéria).
"I knew… and I was also aware that grief was making you forget the Source of Life. I wanted to show you the way…"[1]
Jesus says: "Levi, come to Me"[2] and he stretches out his arms. The little one has a kind of shock, as if someone had called him aloud while he was sleeping.
