Pope Francis experienced a quiet and restful night at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he continues receiving treatment and therapies following recent respiratory issues diagnosed last week as of Monday morning, March 10, 2025.
Upon waking Monday morning, Pope Francis resumed his scheduled therapies, including respiratory exercises and motor physiotherapy. After utilizing non-invasive mechanical ventilation overnight, his treatment transitioned smoothly to high-flow oxygen therapy through nasal cannulas.
According to medical professionals overseeing his care, the Pope’s clinical condition remains stable, though they continue to exercise caution given the complexity of his health situation.
Despite hospitalization, Pope Francis continues participating spiritually in the Vatican’s annual Lenten spiritual exercises. These sessions, conducted at the Vatican’s Paul VI Hall and led by the Preacher of the Papal Household, Fr. Roberto Pasolini, OFM Cap., began Sunday afternoon and will continue through this week.
The Pope remains spiritually engaged, joining remotely from his hospital room, emphasizing his dedication to spiritual practice despite his physical health challenges.
Outside Gemelli Hospital, numerous religious sisters and members of the faithful gathered to pray for the Pope’s swift recovery, illustrating widespread community support and affection for the pontiff.
Alongside local support, global concern for the Pope’s health continues, highlighting his importance as a spiritual leader worldwide. Vatican authorities have encouraged faithful worldwide to join in prayer, solidarity, and ongoing updates via Vatican News.
Despite his current health battle, Pope Francis remains attentive to global crises, recently expressing heartfelt condolences to victims affected by devastating floods in his home country, Argentina. At least 16 lives were lost in severe flash floods that hit Bahia Blanca.
A detailed medical update is expected later today, providing further insight into the Pope’s progress. In solidarity, the Vatican community will gather again this evening at 6 pm local time to pray the Holy Rosary in the Paul VI Hall.
