THE tragic misfortune of little Sophie Delezio pulls at the heart strings of all Australians.
This plucky five-year-old has suffered more than most adults do in a lifetime.
To be injured in a car accident twice in her young years is difficult to comprehend.
But the prayers of Australians to Blessed Mother Mary MacKillop helped Sophie through a near death ordeal the first time.
There is every reason to believe that such an intense prayer effort can again bring renewed hope and happiness to this little girl.
