LA CROSSE, Wis. (CNS) — Cardinal Raymond L. Burke remained hospitalized for COVID-19 but as of Aug. 21 he was taken off a ventilator that he had been on for some days and taken out of the ICU to be returned to a regular hospital room, according to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse.
Father Paul N. Check, executive director of the shrine in Cardinal Burke’s home diocese, relayed an announcement about the cardinal from his family on the cardinal’s official Twitter account @cardinalrlburke and on the shrine website.
“Praised be Jesus Christ!” the priest said. “His sister spoke with him on the phone this morning, and His Eminence expressed his deep gratitude for the many prayers offered on his behalf.”
“His family asks that we continue those prayers for his full and speedy recovery,” the priest said, “and they are grateful to God for the exceptional medical care the cardinal has received from the dedicated doctors and nurses who continue to assist him.”
