The Pope managed to resume some of his duties, including reaching out to the Priest of the Parish of Gaza to reaffirm his spiritual support. Notably, on Sunday, he called for prayers from Catholics worldwide after being unable to deliver the Angelus prayer in person for the second consecutive week. In solidarity, members of the clergy in Rome are gathering nightly to pray for the Pope, led by Cardinal Parolin, the Vatican's secretary of state. With a history of lung issues stemming from a youth ailment, Pope Francis remains particularly vulnerable to pneumonia—a major concern as he continues his fight for recovery.
