The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis’s condition has shown a slight improvement as he continues to battle double pneumonia in both lungs. Despite still receiving oxygen, the pontiff’s respiratory attacks have ceased, and some laboratory tests have improved. The 88-year-old pope, who has been hospitalized for nearly two weeks, received the Eucharist in the morning and worked in the afternoon, indicating a positive sign in his recovery.
Francis’s infection, described as complex and caused by multiple microorganisms, has proven to be a challenge due to his history of pleurisy and lung surgery. The global community has rallied around the pope, with prayers and tributes being offered for his speedy recovery. A special prayer was organized in St Peter’s Square, and well-wishers have left tributes outside the hospital where he is being treated.
Among those offering their prayers are Ukrainians, who have a special connection to the pontiff due to his vocal support for peace in their war-torn country. Despite the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, many are focusing on praying for the speedy recovery of Pope Francis, hoping that he will return home soon. The Vatican has reported that the pope had a peaceful night, was not in pain, and was in good spirits, providing a glimmer of hope for his health. The global community continues to watch and wait for updates on the beloved leader of the Catholic Church.
