Update on Pope’s health status
Recently, the Holy See’s Press Office has shared news about the well -being of Pope Francis. At eight o’clock in the morning on February 26, it was reported that the pontiff has enjoyed a quiet night and is in a recovery process.
Although the previous statement stated that its condition is critical, it has remained stable, without acute respiratory episodes and with hemodynamic parameters in good condition. A recent CT was made to evaluate its bilateral pneumonia, and the prognosis is still cautious.
Collective prayers for the Pope
In a gesture of solidarity, the previous evening, a prayer of the rosary was made in Plaça de Sant Pere, directed by Cardinal Louis Antonio Tagle. This tradition, which is broadcast live on Radio Estel, brings together Cardinals and collaborators of the Roman Curia to pray not only for the pope’s health, but also for all patients.
The canonization of relevant figures
In another important news, Pope Francis has given the green light to the canonization of the Beat Venezuelan José Gregorio Hernández. This decision, announced in a statement on Tuesday after an audience with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, has been welcomed with great enthusiasm among the Venezuelan people, who have eagerly awaited this moment.
In addition, the pope has approved the canonization of the Beat Bartolo Longo, known for being the founder of the Sanctuary of Pompeii. The devotion to Salvo de Acquisto, a carrabiner who sacrificed his life to save others during the Holocaust, will also be recognized.
New in the Administration of the Vatican
At the administrative level, the Pope has introduced significant changes to the fundamental laws of the state of the Vatican city. Emilio Nappa and Giuseppe Puglisi-Alibrandi has been appointed as new general secretaries, with the aim of revitalizing internal management.
On the other hand, Raffaella Petrini has been named chair of the Pontifical Commission for the State of the Vatican City. This appointment makes her the first woman to participate in the meetings of the Cardinals Council, bringing a new perspective to the reforms of the curia.
A future with new hopes
With these changes underway, the Vatican is heading to a new phase, with renewed hopes for the Pope and his role in the global Catholic community. The canonization of such significant figures and the inclusion of female voices in the Vatican government are steps that could mark a before and after in the history of the Church.
