Church leaders appealed to Filipino bishops and diocesan administrators to include Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle in prayers and daily Mass intentions so that 'he can resume his important ministry for the universal Church.' COVID19 READ:
MANILA - From top Catholic Church leaders to lay faithful on social media, prayers poured in for Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and former archbishop of Manila, after testing positive for the novel coronavirus.
In an interview with Church-run Radio Veritas, Pabillo appealed to people to continue praying for the cardinal. He also expressed hope that Tagle would use this time for rest and reflection. [Let us accompany him in our prayers. We do not know where he is quarantined, but we know he is in good hands. My advice is for him to take it easy. His condition is probably not that serious, because he is asymptomatic. It means he has a good immune system that is why he can take it and take this time as a period to rest. Maybe he has a lot of work. Now that he is under quarantine, he'll take a pause and take this as an opportunity to rest and pray.
Meanwhile, Kidapawan Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo, who is also the national chairperson of Caritas Philippines, urged all Filipinos to offer 10 Hail Marys for Tagle's recovery. Before this, Bruni said the prelate already had a COVID-19 test in Rome last September 7 where he tested negative, which was why he was allowed to travel back to Manila for a short break. Officers of the Roman Curia are allowed a month of vacation during the summer.
