The Pope has asked to pray for Benedict XVI 95 years old, whose health conditions are extremely weak, and has pointed out that “is very sick”.
Francis has thus requested a “special prayer” for the pope emeritus “who in silence sustains the Church.” “Is very sick. Let us ask God to comfort him and sustain him in his testimony of love for the Church until the end,” the pontiff said during the general audience this Wednesday.
Although it has 95 years and has reduced his public agenda to a minimum, Benedict XVI continues to receive visits. On August 27, the emeritus pope met, as is his custom, with the new cardinals created by Francis at the end of the consistory. However, his state of health did not allow them to speak with them.
According to his environment, despite the natural ailments linked to his advanced age, he has retained full intellectual lucidity. However, in the last two years his state of health has drastically worsened. In addition to problems articulating words, he cannot move independently and requires a wheelchair at all times.
