While the Pope enters his fourth week at Gemelli Hospital, his journey to recovery remains unclear. The 88-year-old Pontiff seem to hope for greater stability in his condition before they give another update to the public.
Dr. Claudio Santini, Chief of Internal Medicine at Grassi Hospital, said Corriere della Sera that the lack of a Vatican Bulletin was noticing, noting that the Pope’s condition had improved “not a positive sign”.
“Consider that the Pope probably suffers from a chronic respiratory disease that recently made him partially disabled. The double pneumonia has now been added,” said Dr. Santini.

The Pope spoke in his homily about the importance of ash and the act of their reception.
“We worship our heads to receive ashes as if we were looking at ourselves and looking at ourselves. Indeed, the ash helps to remind us that our lives are fragile and insignificant: we are dust, from the dust we have created and that we will return,” it states, according to the Vatican.
The Pope also called for “Return to God with all our heart” in his homily, persuading Catholics to “place him at the center of our life.”
