The Argentine Episcopal Conference called on all communities to unite in prayer for the swift recovery of Pope Francis, who is hospitalized in the Vatican. The institution expressed its gratitude for the tireless service of the pontiff to the Church and the world, accompanying him spiritually during his hospitalization and rest.
In a statement signed by the president of the CEA, Marcelo Daniel Colombo, and its general secretary, Raúl Pizarro, it was reported that Pope Francis is suffering from a polymicrobial respiratory tract infection, which has required adjusting his treatment and may necessitate a longer hospitalization. This situation has raised concerns about his health.
According to the Press Office of the Holy See, the results of recent medical tests indicate a complex clinical picture that will require specialized hospital care. Pope Francis was admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome last Friday, February 14, and since then, his progress has been monitored.
The Catholic community has been called to raise prayers for the swift recovery of the Pope and to accompany him with thoughts and words of support during this difficult time. Solidarity and faith have been unanimously manifested as a show of affection and concern for the health of the supreme pontiff.
