He commented to those in attendance that a friend who did not want to vaccinate had been admitted to a hospital after testing positive for COVID-19 and is now struggling between life and death.

“I said to the family, ‘I’m going to pray for her, because I’m a good friend of yours.’ But I hardly wanna pray for stupid people who didn’t want to take care of themselves“, He assured.

After that, he asked the parishioners why they should ask other people who they don’t take life seriously by not taking care of themselves, by not taking the pandemic seriously and by putting those around them at risk.

“Why should we pray for those who are worth their life and the lives of others? … Do not come and ask for prayers for those who do not want to take care of themselves.
