Vatikanstadt, Vatikan - Pope Francis: Easy improvement in his state of health

Pope Francis took part in the spiritual retreats of Lent on Sunday in the Vatican on Sunday while continuing to be treated in the hospital. These retreats, which are under the subject of “Hope for Eternal Life”, are led by the Italian capuchin father Roberto Pasolini. The Pope, who has been the head of 1.4 billion Catholics since the election in March 2013, thanks for the numerous prayers and the support he has experienced during his hospital stay. In his message, he expressed gratitude to the doctors and the medical staff: "I experience the care and tenderness of care." These words come at a critical time after he recently suffered from acute respiratory insufficiency, which was caused by mucus collections in the lungs and bronchy cramps.

On Saturday evening, doctors reported a slight improvement in Francis' condition, which is fever -free and with stable blood values. Although the health state of the 88-year-old continues to be monitored, it is optimistic because no further crises have occurred since the last breathing problems. The Vatican announced that the Angelus prayer for the Pope failed for the fourth time in a row on Sunday. Instead, the Pope will publish the text of the prayer, while the daily rosary better on St. Peter's Square is maintained by believers. These prayers, which are under the direction of outstanding churchmen, bring together people who pray for the health of the Pontifex.

Cautiouus Optimism Amid Ongoing Concerns

Despite the positive news, the medical forecast remains careful. Francis, which is still supplied with additional oxygen, requires support from a non-invasive ventilator at night. The doctors observe the developments closely to determine whether the early improvements are continuing. The every evening prayer prayer in the Vatican will be exposed, but believers can continue to pursue the moments of prayer via the screens in front of St. Peter's Square. The fasting expert takes place in "spiritual community" with the sick pope, which underlines the connection and faith of the church members. As the Kleine Zeitung reported, the Pope as a leader of the Catholic Church is still the focus of the prayers and hopes in times of illness Believers.
