Bishop’s hospital visit emphasizes need for ‘spiritual care’ of patients
Norma Gonzalez was recovering from surgery at Emanate Health Queen of the Valley Hospital in West Covina when she got an unexpected visitor, one that made her feel like her suffering was over.
She sensed it the moment Auxiliary Bishop Brian Nunes of Los Angeles walked in wearing his luminous pectoral cross and even brighter smile.
“To see the bishop and get his blessing makes me feel like I’m not alone and I’m going to be OK,” said Gonzalez through tears. “I feel overwhelmed because I know God was present.”
