A Time of Collectory Prayer
In a gesture of support and solidarity, Cardinal Pietro Parolin has shared a deep desire during the Rosari in Plaça de Sant Pere, asking the Virgin to accompany Pope Francis in his recovery process. “May she, our loving mother, hold her at this difficult time,” she said.
A prayer space in Plaça de Sant Pere
From the 24th of this month, the Plaça de Sant Pere has become a prayer center, where the rosary is celebrated every afternoon, with the participation of the Cardinals and collaborators of the Roman Curia. This initiative seeks to unite the faithful in one voice to ask for the health of the Holy Father and all the sick.
The Resilience of the Faith
Parolin emphasized that in recent days the Christian community around the world has raised its prayers for the pope. “Each believer has contributed to this intense intercession,” he said in front of a crowd that filled the square. ‘Now, we want to publicly join this prayer, here where the Holy Father is.’
Pope’s health update
According to the Vatican Press Office, the pope has rested well during the night after eleven days of treatment at the Gemelli polyclinic for bilateral pneumonia. A ‘slight improvement’ is confirmed in your health, with indications that no episodes of Asmà and improvements in some laboratory tests have taken place.
Clinical and prudence conditions
Doctors have carefully monitored their mild renal failure, saying that it is not a concern. Oxygenotherapy continues, although with adjustments to the flow and percentage of oxygen. The complexity of its clinical status has led professionals to be cautious in their assessment.
A proximity gesture
During the day, the Pope received the Eucharist and returned to his tasks. He also called the Rector of Gaza to express his support at these difficult times. Francis thanked the community of faithful who have joined the prayer for their health, strengthening the feeling of community and union that characterizes the Church.
