Pope's Health Status: Progress and Caution
La salute di Papa Francesco mostra segni di miglioramento, come riportato dalla sala stampa vaticana. I medici hanno confermato “lievi miglioramenti” grazie a un programma di fisioterapia respiratoria e motoria che il Pontefice segue quotidianamente. Durante la notte, il Papa ha dormito senza maschera e ventilazione meccanica, utilizzando solo ossigeno ad alti flussi.
Durante il giorno, i flussi di ossigeno vengono ridotti per favorire una ossigenazione ordinaria.
However, despite this progress, Vatican sources warn that this is not a definitive recovery. Caution is required, as the Pope will continue to be hospitalized and his resignation is not expected anytime soon. Doctors have stressed the need for “additional days” of hospital treatment, emphasizing that recovery requires time and attention.
Community support and the Pope's words
In this difficult period, the Pope has received strong support from the Italian community. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her solidarity during the communications to the Senate, hoping to see the Holy Father restored as soon as possible. This affection shows how important the figure of the Pope is for the Italian people and for the Christian community in general.
Despite his health conditions, Pope Francis continues to devote himself to prayer and work. He wrote a letter to Corriere della Sera, in which he reflects on human fragility and the absurdity of war. The Pontiff invites us to disarm words and minds, underlining the importance of effective diplomacy and a renewed commitment to peace.
The Challenges of War and the Pope's Agenda
The recent news about the war in Gaza has deeply affected the Pope, who has always shown particular attention to the suffering of communities affected by conflict. The vicar of the Custody of the Holy Land, Father Ibrahim Faltas, recalled how the presence of the Holy Father has been a comfort to many, especially in moments of great difficulty.
Despite concerns about global conflict, Pope Francis's schedule remains on hold until he leaves the hospital. The British royals have announced a visit to Italy in April, with a meeting planned with the Pope. However, the Holy See press office has clarified that state visits are only announced a few days in advance, thus maintaining secrecy about the Pope's future appearances.
