Pope Francis remains in stable condition at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, continuing his recovery following a peaceful night, according to the Vatican’s latest update.
Medical Update: Positive Signs, But Caution Remains
On Sunday morning, March 9, the Holy See Press Office confirmed that Pope Francis had a quiet night and continues to rest comfortably. Saturday’s medical report noted a gradual but mild improvement, showing a good response to treatment for his ongoing health concerns.
The statement emphasized that the Pope’s respiratory function has improved, blood work remains stable, and he has not experienced any fever. While the progress is encouraging, doctors remain cautious, maintaining a guarded prognosis as they continue to monitor his condition closely.
The Pope’s Continued Engagement
Despite being hospitalized since February 14, Pope Francis has remained actively involved in his spiritual duties. On Sunday, Cardinal Michael Czerny delivered the Pope’s homily at the Jubilee of the World of Volunteers Mass in St. Peter’s Square. Additionally, the Vatican released the Pope’s midday Angelus address, following the same approach as previous Sundays during his hospitalization.
Later in the afternoon, Pope Francis is expected to join spiritual exercises remotely from his hospital room as the Roman Curia begins its Lenten retreat in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican.
While Pope Francis’ condition is improving, Vatican officials have not yet indicated when he will be discharged. Medical teams are focusing on gradual recovery and ongoing therapy, ensuring he is in stable health before making any further decisions.
As the Catholic community continues to pray for his recovery, the Pope’s ability to remain engaged in spiritual duties signals optimism about his ongoing healing process.
