A case for the Braga Cause

MANILA: 10 February 2014 --  As very many people in the EAO Region would know Fr José (Pepe) Reinoso, either from his years in the Philippines or in Rome, it seems appropriate to bring readers the news that he is extremely ill in a Manila hospital and that the prognosis, humanly speaking, does not look good. The community where he is the Rector are recommending this one to Fr Charles Braga's intercession. Through this newsletter we now ask readers generally to pray for Fr Reinoso.

Fr Reinoso is the Rector of the Salesian theologate at Parañaque. His health has generally been ailing in recent times. Several weeks ago he suffered a stroke and was immediately admitted to hospital in a coma.  Currently he is not in a coma, but is paralyzed on the left side and is intubated for feeding purposes. He is breathing unassisted. Confreres who have visited him indicate that he is partly responsive - appears to be able to hear, but not see or speak.
