The health of Pope Francis and the united church in prayer
The Pope continues hospitalized at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he receives treatment for complex respiratory infection. According to the Vatican, his condition has shown signs of improvement: he slept well during the night and remains under oxygen therapy with high flows, in addition to having initiated a physiotherapy treatment for the respiratory tract. However, doctors maintain a reserved prognosis, and their hospitalization has already extended for thirteen days.
Meanwhile, prayer vigils continue for the recovery of the pontiff. The Secretary of State for the Holy See announced that this Thursday at 9:00 pm (local time) the Holy Rosary will be prayed in the Plaza de San Pedro, chaired by Cardinal Baldassare Reina, Vicar General of the Diocese of Rome.
In addition, due to its hospitalization, the Vatican confirmed the cancellation of the jubilee hearing scheduled for Saturday, March 1.
