Catholics pray for Okogie’s speedy recovery

THE over two  million Catholic faithful in Lagos have been directed to pray for the speedy recovery of the Archbishop of the Lagos Metropolitan See, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, who is battling with an undisclosed ailment for sometime now.
The Edo State-born clergyman was  flown out of the country for treatment in an Indian hospital last week.
The directive for the prayers for Cardinal Okogie was made by Catholic priests in the Lagos archdiocese at various Sunday masses in Lagos last week.
Adherents were directed to say the Lord’s prayer once and two Hail Mary’s each time they  prayed in the day or night and then ask God to have mercy on the Archbishop by ensuring his quick recovery.
However, details of his ailment are still sketchy but a medical expert tried to link the swelling on his legs to either a liver or kidney condition.
As at the time he was flown out, his condition was described by sources close to his Holy Cross Cathedral as critical with some members saying that he could hardly stand on his feet because both legs were swollen.
