Hope for the Pope: Positive update after hospitalization!

Vatikanstadt, Italien - In Vatican City there is hope for Pope Francis, who is currently in the Roman Gemelli Hospital. On Thursday it became known that the 88-year-old slept well and continued to recover. The latest reports of the Vatican show a slight improvement in his state of health after the slight renal insufficiency previously observed has now declined. Although pneumonia continues to be treated and oxygen therapy continues, the forecast remains "reserved" according to Vatican. This is remarkable, since the Pope's state of health was classified as "critical" for over a week, described kathpress.at .

There are also signs of hope in the community: the faithful felt a positive mood during a prayer on St. Peter's Square on Wednesday evening. Cardinal Giovanni Battist Re prayed for the full recovery of Pope Francis, while more than a thousand believers, including many cardinals, were gathered. This day was also shaped by prayers among the church leaders, in which Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle led the evening prayer. Bishop Dr. Georg Bätzing also expressed his solidarity with the Pope and wished him to return to stable health soon.

The prayers for the sick pope also take shapes outside of the faith community. Cardinal Matteo Zupi reported that many people, even those who are not believers, pray for him in different ways. This illustrates the extensive support that the Pope receives in this difficult time. With the call for prayer for Pope Francis and the solidarity of the church leader, it becomes clear how deeply rooted the concern for his health in society and how much people express their affection and hope of recovery.
