Peter and John went to pray;

they met a lame man on the way.

He asked for alms and held out his palms, 

and this is what Peter did say:

“Silver and gold have I none,

but such as I have give I thee.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

RISE UP AND WALK!

Peter offers to the lame man and to the people who gather to see the miracle, the best thing he has to give: Jesus and His healing power.
