Catholic faithful gathered in Vatican City on Saturday (February 22) to pray for Pope Francis as he continues receiving treatment for double pneumonia. Concerns over his health persist, though doctors assure there is no immediate life-threatening risk.
The medical team at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital has provided mixed updates on the pontiff’s condition. While they confirmed on Friday (February 21) that he remains in a delicate state, they emphasized that he is not currently in critical danger.
Pilgrims and visitors at St. Peter’s Square expressed their support and prayers for the 87-year-old Pope. "We are here for him too, because he always asks us to pray for him," said Italian pilgrim Anna Rita Rorato, voicing hope for his swift recovery.
Doctors have indicated that Pope Francis will remain hospitalized “at least” through the coming week. As a result, all of his public engagements, including the traditional Sunday Angelus prayer, have been canceled.
His absence has raised concern among the faithful. "He is missing a very important, traditional appointment," said Italian worshiper Emilia Colitta, calling the situation "sad and worrying."
Despite uncertainty surrounding his health, many remain hopeful that Pope Francis will regain his strength and resume his duties.
