Pope Francis remains in stable condition after a “quiet” night in hospital, according to the Vatican. The 88-year-old pontiff has been hospitalized for 17 consecutive days due to bilateral pneumonia. On Sunday, the Vatican reported that he is receiving high-flow oxygen therapy but does not require non-invasive mechanical ventilation.
The Pope participated in Holy Mass on Sunday, taking a break from rest and prayer. In his weekly Angelus prayer, he expressed gratitude to Gemelli Hospital’s doctors and medical staff for their care. He also shared feelings of comfort and support from God’s people during this challenging time.
Pope Francis was admitted to the hospital on February 14 after experiencing a bronchospasm attack. His condition had remained stable until Saturday, when it improved slightly following the attack. The Vatican has assured that his condition remains stable, but no further updates have been provided.
