Pope Francis has spent a “quiet” night and is “resting”, according to the Holy See on Monday, on its twenty -fifth day admitted to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome for its respiratory problems. “The Pope has spent a quiet night, he is resting,” said the Holy See in the brief message that usually sends every morning, before giving more details of his state throughout the day, usually at noon and last time in the afternoon.
Francisco is hospitalized by bilateral pneumonia and other lung problems Since February 14, a situation that has worried due to his advanced age, 88 years, since in his youth they removed part of a lung.
This weekend the Pope has been attentive to the latest events in the world and in the Church. The Argentine pontiff in fact continued by Videoconference on Sunday afternoon the spiritual exercises of Lent that the Roman curia carries out in the Classroom Paul VI of the Vatican, although without being seen through the screen.
The Pope is dedicated to rest in the private apartment of the tenth of the Gemelli, while exercising with Motor and respiratory physiotherapy. For the day, Receive high oxygen flows with nasal cannulas and at night use mechanical ventilation, with a mask. He has already exceeded the three weeks hidden from the world and the only time his voice – downtown, affected and in Spanish – has exceeded its walls was last Thursday, with an audiomegiveness in which he thanked the faithful who pray for their health in the Plaza de San Pedro.
However, he continues to rule the church and is informed of what happens in the world from his hospital room, baptized by John Paul II as ‘Vatican Third’, for his many income (after the Holy See and the summer palace of Castelgandolfo).
This Sunday, for example, He could not preside over the Mass for the Jubilee of the Volunteers in the Plaza de San Pedro del Vaticano but was responsible for writing his homilyread in his name before thousands of cooperators by Cardinal Officer, Michael Czerny. The same did with the traditional Ángelus Mariano, disseminated for fourth consecutive Sunday only in writing, since naturally he cannot preside from the Apostolic Palace window.
In this text, the Argentine pontiff expressed his “concern” for maximum acts, the escalation of violence in various parts of Syria for those still loyal to the overthrown regime of Bachar al Asad. “I have received with concern the resumption of violence in some areas of Syria. I hope it definitely ceases, in the full respect of all the ethnic and religious communities of society and especially civilians,” Bergoglio urged, in writing.
In the morning, in his hospital stay he had received his Secretary of State Vatican, Pietro Parolin, and the substitute for general affairs, the Venezuelan Monsignor Edgar Peña Parra. His idea is “Insert these meetings in their hospitalization” in the Gemelli, They “serve as an occasion to update you about the situation of the Church and the world,” says Vatican Fuentes cited by the EFE agency.
Especially because his permanence and eventual convalescence can go for long, as happened with The 55 days that Pope Wojtyla was admitted by an infection of Citomegalovirus contracted after the two operations practiced because of the May 1981 attack.
