God bless all peoples who suffer for simply being. And God bless those who, like His Holiness Pope Pius XII, care enough to help. And may God bless those who cause the suffering with true and honest contrition for their sins. *** ¨Yet not for these only do I pray, but for those also who through their word are to believe in me, that all may be one ... ¨ The Holy Gospel according to John, 17, 20.
