Vatican summons a rosary for Pope Francis in the Plaza de San Pedro

The Vatican announced Monday that the cardinals will direct a rosary every night in the Plaza de San Pedro for the recovery of Pope Francis. The Secretary of State of the Vatican, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, will preside over the first on the night of February 24 at 9:00 p.m. (Rome time) and will be broadcast live through the television channels and digital platforms of Ewtn.

The Vatican has invited the cardinals residing in the eternal city to participate, as well as the faithful, members of the Roman curia and the diocese of Rome, who “collecting the feelings of the people of God”, will meet in the Plaza de San Pedro to pray for the health of the Holy Father.

As reported by the press office of the Holy See this morning, Pope Francis has “elapsed well” his tenth night at the Gemelli Hospital, where he has been admitted since last Friday, February 14.

The brief statement also indicated that the Holy Father “was resting”, a different message from that of previous days, when it was reported that the pontiff had risen and took breakfast.

However, in mid -morning, Vatican Fuentes have reported that Pope Francis “has awakened and is doing therapy.” They have also specified that it is “in a good mood” and that “it feeds normally.” It is expected that tonight there is a medical update about its evolution.

Last Saturday, on his eighth hospitalization, the Holy Father suffered a respiratory crisis. This, added to the need for blood transfusion due to anemia, generated great concern.

Although this episode has not been repeated again, the situation of Pope Francis remains “critical.” According to the last Sunday informationthe pontiff continues to receive oxygen supply with nasal cannulas and also suffers from a “mild initial renal failure”, although they say it is in an initial stadium and under control.
