Running to save yourself? Or running to protect others? Amidst the images of devastation from Turkey and Syria, shattered by the earthquake of 6 February, there are also pictures that tell of gestures capable of shining a light in the thick darkness of this terrible tragedy.
Perhaps we would not have known anything about this extraordinary act of protecting life had the incident not been caught on some of the hospital’s surveillance cameras. The nurses did not know how long the earthquake would last, let alone how destructive it would be. They did not know if having made that choice, they would be saved. They knew for certain, though, that if they did not intervene, those newborn babies would be in danger of death. And they chose to protect them.
In the course of the ten years of his Pontificate—and most recently during his trip to Africa—Pope Francis has often reminded us: Women give life. Women protect life. Women are bulwarks of peace, first of all because they know that war destroys that very life that they have generated. These nurses bore witness to precisely that strength, gentle and tenacious, of which the Pope speaks, a natural strength that does not seek power but manifests itself as a gift.
