(ANSA) - PERUGIA, 18 NOV - "I wanted to share fifteen days of this hard trial with the other Umbrian sick people, comforting each other, without ever losing hope of healing with the help of the Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary".
This is what Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti confided to one of his collaborators, after leaving the Intensive Care Unit of the Perugia hospital where he is still hospitalized due to Covid, but who will soon leave for a period of convalescence and rehabilitation at the Gemelli in Rome.
"I shared in the suffering the atmosphere of a family - continued the cardinal, according to the weekly La Voce - that of the hospital in our city, that family that God gave me in helping me to live this serious illness with serenity. In this family I have received appropriate treatment and I thank all those who assisted me ". "I have not made other choices and before returning home I will spend a period of convalescence distant from my diocesan community - concluded the president of the CEI and archbishop of Perugia - but in the certainty of always having her in my heart as she always has me in hers".
