Bishop Gábor Mohos, infected with the corona virus, is grateful for the prayers

Herewith we present Bishop Gábor Mohos’s testimony of his illness:

6 November 2020

Dear Brothers,

We’ve been hearing a lot about the corona virus, but nowadays it is present all over in our immediate environments: I myself have been certified as infected for ten days already. As it were, I may consider myself as lucky, (so far) I haven’t got to a hospital. After a few feverish days, my temperature has been normal for a week. I am supplied, there’s someone who cooks for me, and I can celebrate a mass every day. Notwithstanding, in my mind I had to endure very harsh days, indeed. It did happen, that having celebrated a mass in a seated position I felt so weak that had to lay down immediately after.
My status – though slowly improving – remains unsteady, even within the same day. When I didn’t feel well, particularly at the beginning – there was this lurking doubt: my condition could worsen, since there are cases who get better but then, after ten days end up at a hospital. After nearly a fortnight I’m still only able to do real work to a very limited extent. There are many who pray for me and I feel very grateful, indeed.
There is one thing that motivates me to write down these words: let us take every measure of precaution very seriously, we are responsible for each other, and for our own selves, too. Far from everyone gets away with the COVID-infection lightly. There are many who suffer for a long time, and more and more – not only elderly and otherwise sick people – end up dying.
May I add, in conclusion, that in spite of everything this is a period of grace, a gift of God’s merciful love, an opportunity to get closer with Jesus, who invited us for the priestly service and sacrifice.
With brotherly love. Gábor Mohos, auxiliary bishop”.
