Samuel of Korazim

From Wiki Maria Valtorta
From Corozaïn, hunchbacked and crippled, he is healed by Jesus.
- "I am a poor worm that the great trample: I did not dare to hope that you would have pity on a beggar."
- "I am the Pity that bends over every misery that calls me. I refuse no one. I ask only for love and faith to respond: I am listening."
- "Oh! my Lord! I believe and I love you! Then save me! Heal your servant!"[1]
He immediately runs to his friend Abel the leper to supply him more than usual, with good food, and not leftovers as usual. He announces his healing and the power of Jesus. Regaining hope, Abel immediately drops this feast, which he had been deprived of for years, to run and throw himself at the feet of Jesus who heals him.[2] Samuel and Abel will remain inseparable in friendship as in the apostolate.
