The Holy See Press Office announced tonight that the Pope’s condition is significantly improving and this has been confirmed by clinical observations and laboratory test results. His favorable reaction to pharmacological treatment according to the statement has helped improve his condition.
With his positive developments and further improvement, doctors have decided to raise their previous cautious prognosis, which means he is out of danger. However, due to the Pope’s complex medical condition and severity of the infection that led to his admission, he will still undergo pharmacological treatment within the hospital environment for an undefined period of time.
Despite this health challenge that Pope Francis is facing, his commitment to his spiritual duties is unwavering. The Holy See reported that this morning he participated in the spiritual exercises of the Roman Curia from home by video link. Later, the Pope received the Eucharist and prayed in the chapel of his private apartment. It is worth noting that he has continued following the Curia’s Spiritual Exercises at home, balancing his day between prayer and rest.
The Pope’s health has been a source of concern in recent years, yet his strength and devotion to his pastoral duty are still evident. As the Vatican continues to monitor his health giving him the necessary medical care, catholic faithfuls all over the world support him with their prayers.
