Prayers for Raymond Cardinal Burke continue to pour in amid unconfirmed reports that his condition is improving.
“I’m praying for Cardinal Burke’s healing. And for an increase in humility all around,” wrote National Review’s Kathryn Jean Lopez. “And also, a respect for conscience rights at this time of great fear. Fear does not bring out the best in us, it would seem.”
Lopez was critical of media reports which stressed Cardinal Burke’s orthodox Catholic faith, as well as his opposition to vaccination mandates. It is not known if Cardinal Burke was vaccinated against COVID-19, but he has been a vocal opponent of closing churches, as well as mandatory vaccines.
The Latin Mass Society created a “spiritual bouquet” where people could submit prayers or other devotional acts done with the intention of Cardinal Burke’s recovery.
Amanda Schrauth, a consecrated virgin in the Diocese of Great Falls-Billings, requested that people pray for Cardinal Burke. She called him “a great promoter of the vocation of Consecrated Virginity Lived in the World.”
