Dear Parishioners
Many of you will have heard that Archbishop Emeritus Desmond has been admitted to hospital for the treatment of what Mama Leah described as a stubborn infection. He has been hospitalised a number of times over the past few years for such infections.
I went to see him this evening, where I found him lucid and engaging. He said he is as good as he can be for an 88-year-old, especially in view of his ill-health in childhood.
When I told him that I had told Leah I was coming to scold him out of hospital, he chuckled warmly, which is a good sign. He also said he apologised for making me do so many hospital visits!
Before leaving, we said the Lord's Prayer together and I gave him a blessing.
Please pray for him, for Mama Leah, for Trevor, Thandi, Nontombi and Mpho and their familes, and for the doctors treating him.
God bless

ReplyDeleteAbout twenty years ago in Atlanta, I was driving to class and hearing on the radio that Arch was in the hospital. I prayed and drove on to Emory. Once inside, I sat in a corridor to wait a few moments. Here comes Desmond Tutu himself, bouncing down the hall as usual. "But you're supposed to be in the hospital!" I said. He replied, "There were so many people praying for me that the Lord said I had to leave so he could get on with tending to the rest of the world!" Lord, Bless this servant of yours who has blessed so many of us!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.
