The Archbishop of Westminster led calls for prayers for Britain's Prime Minister on Monday after Boris Johnson was admitted to an intensive care unit.
Johnson tested positive for coronavirus 11 days ago and was taken to St. Thomas' Hospital, London, on Sunday for worsening symptoms.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols issued an appeal for prayers for the Prime Minister in a tweet April 6.
"Prime Minister Boris Johnson has a personal fight on his hands against the vicious coronavirus and needs our prayers. Let us pray for him, all who are suffering and our NHS workers caring for them," wrote the cardinal, who is president of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.
