Pope Francis continues to receive medical care at Rome’s Gemelli hospital after being diagnosed with double pneumonia on Tuesday.
Though Pope Francis showed a “slight improvement” on Wednesday, his condition is “complex,” doctors and the Vatican said.
Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila posted a call to prayer on social media Tuesday, asking the faithful of the archdiocese to join him and Catholics around the world in prayer for the Holy Father’s health.
“Let us continue to pray for #PopeFrancis as his health situation has worsened. May the Lord be with him at this time providing him comfort and strength!” the archbishop wrote.
Nearing a full week in the hospital, it has been suggested that Pope Francis is gradually improving. In order to allow him the rest and treatment he needs, various events and jubilee celebrations have been cancelled.
