Pope Francis recorded an audio message on Thursday and released praying for his recovery, after breathing his voice, when he is about three weeks in the hospital with pneumonia.
In a message broadcast in St. Peters Square, Francis said, “I thank you from the bottom of my heart for my prayers from the square, I am with you from here.”
“May God protect you and protect you. Thank you,” he said, when he did not eliminate some words while speaking in his native Spanish language.
It was the first time since the 88 -year -old was admitted to Jameli Hospital in Rome on February 14 when the world heard the voice of Francis.
Hajj pilgrims have been gathering in St. Peters Square every evening to pray for the recovery of the pope. Hundreds of people there heard his message on Thursday and praised them.
Vatican said in early Thursday that Argentina, the head of the Catholic Church worldwide, has been in a stable “state since 2013.
It said that Monday’s respiratory failure was not repeated, and the Pope’s blood work was “stable”.
It said that Francis continued with breathing exercises and physiotherapy, there was no fever, and managed to work a little in both morning and afternoon.
Vatican has been providing updates twice daily about the health of the Pope, how a morning night passed, and the evening medical bulletin.
But on Thursday, he said that “in view of the stability of the clinical image, the next medical bulletin will be released on Saturday.”
Nevertheless, “doctors still maintain a safe diagnosis”, which means, that means they will not say how they expect the evolution of his condition.
For the past three nights, Francis – who removed some part of the lungs as a young man – has wore an oxygen mask to help him sleep.
A Vatican source said that on Thursday morning, like the previous day, it turned into a less unpleasant nose canola-a plastic tube collided with its nostrils-a source from the Vatican said.
The Francis lost formal ash celebrations in Rome on Wednesday, but participated in a blessing in his private sweets on the 10th floor of Jameli.
About 1. 1.4 billion Catholic leader has not been seen publicly since he was admitted to his hospital – the longest time for his Papisi.
Nor has the Vatican released a picture, though Francis has published several texts.
‘Ideas and prayers’
While entering the previous hospitals, the Pope appeared in Jameli Balconi on Sunday afternoon for his weekly Angelous Prayer.
But he is missing the last three, and has not yet announced whether he will appear this weekend.
The Vatican confirmed Thursday that senior cardinal Michael will stand for the Pope’s Pope and provide a massive guidance this weekend that marks the first Sunday of Lent.
It was also a part of the Jubilee 2025 celebrations, which is a holy year, led by the Pope, dedicated to volunteers this weekend.
Holi said Thursday that the event “takes even more meaningful meaning, because the thoughts and prayers of all brothers and sisters turn to the holy father and the experience he is passing through.”
The pilgrims will pray in front of the hospital on Saturday, it is said that Francis has done only after admission.
The Pope was initially diagnosed with bronchitis, but it was manufactured in pneumonia in both lungs, which gave rise to the alarm bell all over the world.
On February 22, he suffered a “long -lasting breath crisis” and February 28 was a “bronchosam crisis of bronchosam” – which is to tighten the muscle that lines the lungs.
According to the Vatican, on Monday, Francis “tested two episodes of severe respiratory failure, which causes a significant accumulation of Endocronial mucus and the resulting bronchosam.”
Francis’ health has led to regular speculation, especially among his critics, whether he can resign like his predecessor, Bendite XVI.
