From NBC-A South African archbishop has written a prayer hoping Nelson Mandela will have a “peaceful, perfect end” as the anti-apartheid icon remained in critical condition in a Pretoria hospital.
Thabo Makgoba, Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, visited Mandela in the hospital on Tuesday, The Associated Press reported.
Makgoba said he used the prayer while at the hospital to “offer spiritual support” to Mandela’s wife Graca Machel, his family and “all attending to Madiba,” the 94-year-old former president’s clan name.
The prayer said, “May your arms of love, stretched wide on the cross for us, Now enfold Madiba, and Graca, with compassion, comfort and the conviction that you will never forsake them but that you will grant Madiba eternal healing and relief from pain and suffering.”
“And may your blessing rest upon Madiba now and always. Grant him, we pray, a quiet night and a peaceful, perfect, end,” it added.
