Sick priest 神父病了(3)

My wife and I visited Rev. Fr. Anthony Chan this morning.

He is bed-ridden, thin and frail but alert. He extended his warm handshake and smile to us when we entered his room.

Mrs. Lee is there to look after him almost 24 hours round the clock.

He doesn't speak and needs tube-feeding 2-hourly.

He prays with the "Divine office" (a thick book) regularly, sometimes 2-3 hours if he has the energy. He closes his eyes to rest or sleep when tired.

May our Lord have mercy on him, comfort him in the final hours of his great missionary life.

Mother Mary, pray for him.
Dear friends, let us pray for him too.


今天早上，我和太太去探望了陈安当神父。

他已经不下床了，很瘦弱但精神还很警惕。当我们进入他的房间时，他热情的伸出双手和我们相握，露出和蔼的笑容。

目前李太太几乎是二十四小时的在看护他。

他没有说话，并且需要用插管，每两个小时进食一次。

他用很多时间在床上作祈祷，常常拿作厚厚的祈祷书，在精神允许下，做两到三个小时的阅读及祈祷，疲倦了就闭上眼睛休息或睡觉。

求主耶稣垂怜他，在陈神父伟大传教生命的最后时期，安慰他，呵护他。

圣母玛利亚，请为他祈求。
各位朋友们，让我们也一同为他祈求。
