(ANSA) – ROME, MAR 5 – Pope Francis has resumed high-flow oxygen therapy as he battles pneumonia in a Rome hospital, Vatican sources said Wednesday.
Francis this morning resumed respiratory therapy and returned to high-flow oxygen therapy, administered through nosepieces, instead of mechanical ventilation with the mask that had been used at night, they said.
Today too there are no indications, at least for now, that the Pontiff will return to work.
He has not received any visitors and, again for now, none are planned, the sources said.
There is no news at the moment about the state of the pneumonia that has struck Francis, they said.
But the indication from the doctors last night, namely that the Pope is stable despite a complex picture with a guarded prognosis, indicates a normal evolution of a treated pneumonia for which time is needed.
The Holy See Press Office released the text of the catechesis that the Pope had prepared for this morning’s general audience.
The Pontiff once again speaks about Jesus’ childhood, saying that it will be the last catechesis on the subject.
In particular, the Gospel passage at the center of the reflection is that of the finding of Jesus in the temple. “Like Mary and Joseph, full of hope, let us also follow the footsteps of the Lord, who does not allow himself to be contained by our schemes and allows himself to be found not so much in a place, but in the response of love to the tender divine paternity, a response of love that is filial life,” we read in the text that was prepared for the usual general audience on Wednesday.
Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, will preside over the rosary this evening at 9:00 pm in St. Peter’s Square for the health of the Pope, announced the Vatican press office. (ANSA).
