Prayer Intention for Bishop Tissier de Mallerais

On the morning of Saturday 28 September, after the Angelus, he fell on the stairs of the seminary in Ecône and lost consciousness. He is currently in hospital.

He suffered a fractured skull accompanied by internal haemorrhaging, but his condition has stabilised.

He is gradually coming out of the induced coma in which he had been placed, and his prognosis is no longer life-threatening.

Although still unable to communicate, he is responding quite encouragingly to medical requests.

Further tests are under way to determine the extent of the damage. Hospital staff are optimistic, but his condition remains serious, and the consequences of the trauma uncertain.

We thank all the faithful for their prayers for this intention.
