Pope Francis sends audio message from hospital
Pope Francis sent an audio message to thank everyone who has been praying for his health. The audio clip was broadcast in St. Peter’s Square on Thursday, March 6, as Cardinal Ángel Fernández Artime, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, led the nightly Rosary prayer. The 88-year-old Pope was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on February 14 to receive treatment for bilateral pneumonia.
