Pope Francis urged for world peace in a written address while hospitalized due to severe pneumonia. He highlighted various ongoing conflicts including those in Ukraine, Palestine, and Sudan. Despite his health challenges, the Pope has remained engaged and expressed gratitude for public support. This marks his longest absence from public activity during his papacy, as he has now spent significant time in the Gemelli Hospital in Rome. His recent health update indicated he's recovering but has faced breathing issues requiring mechanical ventilation.
I pray above all for peace. From here, war appears even more absurd.
The pope is still resting.
Pope Francis expressed his gratitude for the messages of support and well-wishes for his recovery.
This is the fourth time Francis has been hospitalized since his papacy started in March 2013.
