From Church Pop:
A 12-year-old boy from Santa Catarina, Brazil, is drawing attention on social media for an unusual mission for someone his age: making rosaries from seeds known as “Our Lady’s Tears” and distributing them to children in hospitals.
With his own hands, he cultivates the plant, harvests the seeds, and turns them into rosaries that he gives away during his visits. According to Samuel, it all began when he was seven years old and watched Catholic programs every day with his grandmother. Soon afterward, he received an invitation that would change his life. “When I was eight or nine years old, Sister Terezinha invited me to visit the hospital. We would play music for the children, but I wanted to leave them a gift that would remind them to pray.”
