The Pontiff is recovering from a “severe cold”
Pope Francis, who celebrated the Angelus at Casa Santa Marta on Sunday (22) due to a “strong cold”, said he was improving, as well as regretting the recent Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The pontiff mentioned that he would like to be close to the faithful in St. Peter’s Square, but underlined the need to “take precautions”, especially as the 2025 Jubilee approaches, an event organized every 25 years which officially begins on the night of December 24, 2024 , with the opening of the Holy Door of St. Peter’s Basilica.
However, the religious man’s voice is still hoarse and tired.
Furthermore, the Pope appeared in public wearing a hearing aid.
Although he was not in a great mood due to a cold, the leader of the Catholic Church dedicated a thought to the Gaza Strip, a territory affected by the conflict between Israel and the Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas.
“I think with pain of Gaza, of so much cruelty, of the machine-gunned children and the bombing of schools and hospitals. Let us pray that by Christmas there will be a ceasefire on all battle fronts: in the Holy Land, in Ukraine, throughout the Middle East and in the world”, said Francisco during the celebration. .
