Norseman82 Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 What I mean is could not someone give her a ride? Even if not by car, is there some type of horse/buggy setup? Is she pushing the wheelchair by herself or is someone assisting her?
KnightofChrist Posted August 31, 2008 Author Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) It looks from the photo the design of the wheelchair is propelled by the handles. By pushing and pulling the left and right handles, to move forward. Plus it is Africa, they do not have much cars and the like, most walk... Even if someone could have picked her up and did not, that would have added to the commitment she had to attend Holy Mass. Edited August 31, 2008 by KnightofChrist
DemonSlayer Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I heard a story similar to this during a sermon, where a woman crawled to Mass and out of pity, the priest decided he would bring the Eucharist to her, but she was upset because she didn't want the privilege of crawling to jesus to be taken away from her.

Guest Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) This should permently be placed in the important topics. I dont know what could be more important then this. This is a testimony against me or any other christian/catholic who has been backslidden. Edited April 20, 2009 by Guest
farglefeezlebut Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 That woman is amazing, but I find it very disturbing that it's so hard for people who need wheelchairs to get them.
dominicansoul Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 reading this story...makes me think we have no real reasons to miss Mass or be late to Mass... (besides things beyond our control...)
