Pope Francis thanked the hospital and healthcare workers at Gemeri Hospital in Rome on Sunday as he continues to be hospitalized while he is being treated for bronchitis.
“I would like to thank the doctors and healthcare workers at this hospital for the care of the doctors and healthcare workers. They do such a precious and exhausting job,” Pope Francis said in a written letter of his Angelus prayer on Sunday. I did.
The Pope also thanked the public for “the love, prayer, and intimacy you have accompanied me recently.”
The Vatican said Saturday that the emperor would not lead Angelus' prayers as normal as medical staff had stipulated him a “absolute rest” to recover from his respiratory infection.
A Vatican spokesman said Pope Francis had a peaceful second night at the hospital.
“Pope Francis has had a quiet night, slept well, ate breakfast, read the newspapers as he normally does. He continues his treatment,” a Vatican spokesman said Sunday.
The Vatican said he was admitted to a Roman hospital on Friday, the latest in a series of illnesses that sparked concerns about the health of the 88-year-old clergyman.
Francis has visited hospitals many times in recent years and underwent abdominal surgery in 2023. He has been suffering from bronchitis for the past few weeks and asked his assistant to read his speech and address.
However, he held the audience at the Vatican on Friday morning before his hospitalization. This included Slovak Prime Minister and CNN CEO Mark Thompson. The Pope was mentally wary at the meeting, but had difficulty speaking for a long time due to difficulty in breathing.
