He referenced the Bible, saying, “We do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities. The Bible says He was made like one of them so that He might become a faithful and merciful high priest.”
Giving an example of the painful stories he encounters, he recounted a woman’s tragic ordeal: “Imagine praying for someone who lost her husband, tried to remarry but lost the second one, and after summoning the courage to try again, she loses the third. How do you pray for such a person without feeling their pain?”
