In Lima, Peru, three patients at the Guillermo Almenara National Hospital found strength in their faith as the annual procession of the Señor de los Milagros passed near the facility.
Anita Mamani Zapata, 29, prepared for surgery to replace the battery in a defibrillator implanted after a childhood heart condition. She credits her faith and the hope of continuing to raise her eight-year-old son, Israel, with giving her courage.
Rosa González de Lovera, 68, originally from Pisco, received positive medical evaluations after a three-year battle with a rare inflammatory disease. She looks forward to reuniting with her family, three children and seven grandchildren, who live far away. Elida Huamán, a teacher from San Juan de Lurigancho, anticipates another surgery to address a persistent wound following a complicated infection. She draws hope from the recovery of her daughter after a birth injury, believing it was a divine miracle.
The women plan to watch the procession of the Señor de los Milagros, a significant religious event, from the hospital windows, seeing it as a reminder of life, love, and a reason to persevere.
