This latest update on Pope Francis’s health is encouraging. It at least gives some hope that he may recover. Marvellous if this continues! His constitution, even at his advanced age, must be very robust.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

For selfish reasons I want His Holiness to recover. There is so much going on in the world and in my own country right now(USA). And as a Roman Catholic I have always found papal conclaves to be kind of stressful.

So with everything else happening....it would be too much.

I am praying that the pope will outlast this crisis.

[Curryong]

Pope Francis does appear to be maintaining his strength and is in stable condition, at the moment anyway. Time, as with all things will provide a solution one way or another.
Everyone prays of course that the Pope will recover. If he doesn’t that will be a severe blow, but at least this man has lived a full and rich life, advocating for others and for world peace.

 

[Toledo]

I have a bad feeling about this when I consider his age and frail health at the moment. I don't follow a lot of Vatican news but the pictures I've been seen lately and the ones I remember of him from few months or years back show how his health has been taking a bad turn in a short time.
Let's hope for the best for the Holy Father.

The latest updates on the Pope's health

 

[Curryong]

Ive been following these updates on Pope Francis’s health every day and, thank heavens, they have been as candid and clear as can be. I am not a Roman Catholic obviously and I dont know why I care so much. Its just that Pope Francis has imo been an extremely good Pontiff, and in times like the world is facing now we need leaders of good will, mercy and justice for all, whom he represents.

I agree… I’m also thankful that the vatican doesn’t leave much over for speculations but lets people know on a daily basis how the pope is…

That’s the most effective way of fending off gossip media rumours and all the false ai-generated stories that are flooding all over internet…

Pope Francis has really made himself a respected voice with authority even far outside of his church when it comes to promoting decency, humanity and peace - in a world where there seems to be less decency, humanity and peace for every year… His voice is definitely still needed…

He will ofcourse be succeeded one day, and at the age of 88 with a fragile health, that day is no longer far away… But he will be a hard act to follow and i hope they won’t have to think about that question just yet

The Pope is taking comfort with all the prayers and good wishes and even outside the hospital where those nuns have been holding daily vigils.
The Pope did release a message where he said 'he was living his time in hospital as an experience of solidarity with people who are sick and suffering everywhere, and thanked his doctors for their care and all the well-wishers for their prayers'.

He seems to recover briefly and then alas have set backs as with last night.
I don't have a good feeling about the Pope's health.

Neither do I I’m afraid. It appears to be two steps forward one day and the next day three steps back. And the physical stresses of these setbacks and his constant treatment would be a strain on someone twenty years younger than Pope Francis.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

It does indeed feel like we are going 2 steps forward and then suddenly 3 steps backwards…

I still hope and pray that he will make it back - but the positive feeling i had in the beginning of his hospital stay, is gradually sinking i’m afraid…
