“Silvio’s testimony could impact the perception that this world, increasingly secularized, has about the relationship between human beings and God, and about the need for man to know God to be truly happy,” he says.
Paulina Oña, for her part, has told ACI Prensa that her husband’s attitude towards the disease “is exemplary”, because “he has decided to inherit to his daughter and son and to myself the example of a life based on Christ, which “Let us have full confidence in God’s promises of eternal life after death.”
“He has told us that afflictions, suffering, pain are part of life itself, and that if the center of our life is Christ, we have comfort to travel those paths,” he adds.
Paulina affirms with certainty that, in the midst of suffering, God has provided them with strength. She considers that the true sign of strength is not to opt for euthanasia, “being an example for her son, her daughter, the people who know him and society itself.”
