Pope Francis’ health is “is stable,” the Vatican announced today, at a time when the 88 -year -old Pontiff began to respond well to the treatment to which he is undergoing the hospital.
“The doctors confirmed that the situation is still the same as yesterday,” said the press office of the Holy See, adding that the state of the Pope is “stable”, with “slight improvements (…) in a general general situation.”
Pope Francis is hospitalized at Gemelli Hospital in Rome, under treatment due to bilateral pneumonia since February 14, or for almost a month.
In the last medical report, on Saturday afternoon, the pope had already been given that the Pope was showing a “good response” to therapy and a “gradual” and “light” improvement, although doctors are adopting a cautious approach.
Although it does not appear or speak in public, it sent a brief audio message on Thursday to the faithful who pray the third each night in St. Peter’s Square and today again shared their reflections.
In the text of Angelus, released by the Vatican after the jubilee of the volunteers, presided by Cardinal Michael Czerny, mayor of the Dicker for Integral Human Development, the Pope warned of the “societies too enslaved by the logic of the market, where everything runs to be subjected to the criterion of self -interest and the search for profit”.
Francis also spoke of volunteering as “prophecy and sign of hope, because he witnesses the primacy of gratuity, solidarity and service to the most needy.”
“To whom it strives in this field, I express my gratitude: Thank you for offering your time and your skills; Thanks for the proximity and tenderness with which they take care of others, awakening in them hope! ”Wrote the Pope in the message today released.
Francisco also took the opportunity to cope with his experience lived at Gemelli Hospital in recent weeks.
“In my prolonged permanence here at the hospital, I also experienced the attention of the service and the tenderness of care, particularly by doctors and health professionals, whom I thank the bottom of my heart. And while I am here, I think of so many people who, in different ways, are close to the sick and are for them a sign of the presence of the Lord. We need this, from the ‘miracle of tenderness’, which accompanies those in proof, bringing some light on the night of pain, ”wrote the Pontiff.
