“Come carry me to the other side of the river!”

Again… “Come carry me to the other side of the river!”

The voice calling was a little child… -Offero carried the little child across the river, although it was very stormy! -Who was this child?

 The child was getting HEAVIER and HEAVIER….

Your name will be Christopher, because you carried Christ
