We are delighted to report near-miraculous improvement in Father Radu Titonea’s condition in the last day. He is in much better condition now than he was two days ago, becoming more responsive and relying less on medical intervention or life support. He has a long way to go. His family—and his diocese—credit the serious and ongoing prayer that has been offered on his behalf around the country and around the world. For this reason, we ask that prayer for Father Radu continue and intensify. Specifically, we are asking for prayer to our Blessed Martyr Bishops: Blessed Cardinal Iuliu Hossu and Blessed Bishops Vasile Aftenie, Ioan Balan, Tit-Liviu Chinezu, Valeriu Traian Frentiu, Alexandru Rusu and Ioan Suciu. Through their intercession and the intercession of the Most Holy Mother of God, may Father Radu be granted a swift and complete recovery and return to the priestly ministry he has loved so much and the people he has served with so much care and compassion.
At this time, at the family’s request, and out of respect for their situation, we would like to ask NOT TO contact the family. We will provide timely updates when we receive them.
