Pope Francis: 'Tranquil' Night

From Sky News:
Earlier this morning, in its latest update since the pontiff was admitted to hospital on 14 February, the Vatican said he had a "tranquil" night.

The Vatican said he will not lead Sunday prayers for the second week running, adding: "The Pope rested well."

Instead, Francis, who has been leading the Catholic Church since 2013, prepared words to be read at the recitation of Sunday's Angelus, asking people to pray for him.

"I am confidently continuing my hospitalisation at the Gemelli Hospital, carrying on with the necessary treatment; and rest is also part of the therapy! I sincerely thank the doctors and health workers of this hospital for the attention they are showing me and the dedication with which they carry out their service among the sick," he said in his message from his hospital bed, released by the Vatican on Sunday.

"In recent days I have received many messages of affection, and I have been particularly struck by the letters and drawings from children. Thank you for this closeness, and for the prayers of comfort I have received from all over the world! I entrust you all to the intercession of Mary, and I ask you to pray for me."

Vatican sources said the message was written during the last few days.
It's good to hear Pope Francis rested well.

I find it somewhat troubling that the message from Pope Francis released by the Vatican on Sunday was written "during the last few days."

That raises more questions about his current state.

The message from Pope Francis was also just posted on his X account, in addition to the Pope's thoughts on today's Gospel.
