Pope Francis: Stable health - pray for the Holy Father!

Pope Francis' health continues to cause great concern, but a positive turn seems to have occurred. The 88-year-old has been in the Roman University Clinic "Agostino Gemelli" since February 14, 2025 due to pneumonia and has now reached a stabilized constitution. Despite two acute respiratory crises at the beginning of this week, in which the Pope had to be treated, the Vatican announced that he had no other seizures by Thursday. Francis, which is supplied with oxygen to support his breathing, continues to deal with breathing exercises and physiotherapy to promote his recovery, such as oe24.at reported.

audio message of the Pope

For the first time since his hospital stay, an audio message of the Pope was published, in which he thanks his supporters for the prayers. In an emotional speech, Francis expressed: "Thank you very much for your prayers for my health on the pitch." This message was played on St. Peter's Square on Thursday evening when believers gathered to pray for his recovery. Despite his weakened condition, the Pope took part in his work on Thursday and also devoted time to prayer, such as Tagesanzeiger.ch

The stability of his state of health was considered great success, especially after several relapses since it was admitted. The Vatican stated that no press release on the state of health of the Pope is published for Friday evening, which interrupts the usual rhythm of reporting. The next medical report will only be published on Saturday, while Francis continues to hope for a complete recovery.
