During his stay, the Pontiff received two large cards from the family of baby Miguel Ángel, whom the Pope baptized in March at the same hospital when he was receiving treatment for a lung infection.
Marcela del Rosario Pariona Bárcena, the baby’s mother, considers the event a “double miracle” since Pope Francis became the “godfather” of her son and contributed to his healing.
