WHAT EXAMPLE OF BRAVERY SURPRISED THE WORLD ?

 WHAT EXAMPLE OF BRAVERY SURPRISED THE WORLD ?



Five years have passed since Francisco Erasmo Rodrigues de Lima, a father of four, a bricklayer, an alcoholic, divorced and homeless, was murdered on the steps of the Sé Cathedral in São Paulo, Brazil.


A woman praying in church was taken hostage by a fugitive criminal. Francisco didn't hesitate; he knew what to do. He lit his last cigarette, held it firmly between his lips, lunged at the bandit, freed the woman, and was shot dead by the criminal. While Francisco gave his life in defense of that woman, a crowd watched and filmed, but only Francisco, a homeless man, ostracized by society, seen as a bandit, was capable of giving his life for a complete stranger. May this man always be remembered for his act of courage and heroism
