Adriana Chircop has urged people to pray for her husband, Labour MP Karl Chircop who is still in a coma after suffering a stroke yesterday week.
"Please continue praying for him," she said when contacted yesterday afternoon.
She thanked people for their support and sympathy during the past week. Messages of support have deluged timesofmalta.com, with many describing Dr Chircop as a gentleman and capable politician. Over the weekend, Mrs Chircop posted her own comment on this paper's website, thanking those who are praying for her husband.
"I thank those supporting and praying for Karl because, yes, your prayers are being heard," she said, describing every day as "a miracle".
"The love, respect and sincere outpouring of solidarity is a reflection of all that he has given to society," she wrote.
The parliamentarian, who turned 43 on Thursday, collapsed on Sunday evening with what has been described by the Health Division and the Labour Party as a cerebral haemorrhage caused by a stroke.
Mrs Chircop yesterday said her husband collapsed as he went to the garage to wash the wheels of his car.
Although his children had already washed the car, the family doctor - whose wife described him as "a perfectionist" - decided to give them another scrub.

We hope there will be a final and permanent miracle and Karl will return back in the arms of his family.
I never met him but from the way he speaks and also the way he looks, one can read honesty in him.
May God heal him and give him back his health. Amen

Dear Lord,
Please have mercy on dear Karl and his family and allow him to pull through this difficult medical situation. I know that what i am asking is short of a miracle but miracles have happened in your name. If ever there was a person who deserved a miracle it is Karl Chircop!
Let him continue to shine as a beacon, for fellow poiticians,in the living world.
If however you have other plans for him we accept them with humility !
Amen

Karl is one of those rare politicians who inspires absolute confidence in people as all politcians should. He is a role model for others considering to enter the political arena.
The ways of God are unfathomable. That means that we should think of Karl and pray for Karl and his loved ones every single day that passes because , in his mercy, the Lord can make miracles happen.
To Karl's family and close relatives and freinds: Keep the Faith. I have a strong feeling the good Lord wills see Karl through.

Such a warm person deserves better.
Life can be so cruel. As long as there's life there's hope.
Come on Karl...You can do it
