According to a recent statement from the Holy See Press Office, Pope Francis had a restful night and woke up shortly after 8:00 AM. This information was shared with journalists on Friday morning, providing an update on the Pope's health status.
On Thursday, Pope Francis' condition was reported to be stable, with no occurrences of respiratory insufficiency. The Holy See Press Office confirmed that due to the stability of his clinical condition, the next detailed medical bulletin is scheduled for release on Saturday. However, the Press Office will continue to provide brief updates concerning the Holy Father’s health.
Throughout Thursday, Pope Francis engaged in both respiratory therapy and motor physiotherapy, which have shown beneficial effects on his recovery. Notably, he did not experience any fever during this time. The Pope also balanced periods of rest with work, maintaining a positive approach to his health journey.
Before the nightly Rosary that took place in St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis shared an audio message in which he expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the countless prayers and expressions of support he has received from around the world. In this message, he extended a blessing to everyone and reassured them that he is accompanying them from the hospital.
This continuous communication from the Holy See Press Office and Pope Francis himself helps to keep the faithful informed about the Pope’s health and reinforces the sense of community during this period of recovery.
