Pope Francis remains alert in hospital as Argentinians in Rome pray for his recovery
Pope Francis is currently resting at Rome's Gemelli hospital after being diagnosed with double pneumonia, according to the Vatican. The 88-year-old pontiff, who is in his 13th day of hospitalization, is described as alert, moving around his room, and eating normally. This marks his longest hospital stay in nearly 12 years as pope.
The Vatican reported that the pope had a peaceful night, and although his condition remains "guarded," his hemodynamic parameters are stable. On Tuesday, the Vatican had stated that the pope remained in critical condition but had not faced any new respiratory crises.
Pope Francis, originally from Argentina and the first pope from the Americas, has battled several health issues in recent years, including lung infections. He is receiving treatment for a "complex" pneumonia caused by multiple microorganisms. His health has prompted prayers from communities around the world, with many in Rome’s Argentine community gathering to pray for his recovery.
A daily prayer service has also been held at St. Peter's Square, attended by pilgrims and senior Church figures, emphasizing the global support for the pope’s health and leadership.
