“For the third week in a row, Pope Francis has been unable to deliver his traditional Angelus prayer in person, with the Vatican publishing his written comments instead. The Vatican said the text, sent from his hospital room in Rome, had been written ‘in the past few days.’ In it, the Pope thanked people for their prayers and thanked his medical team for their care. … On Sundays, visitors to the Vatican usually gather on St Peter’s Square to see the Pope appear at a window high up in the Apostolic Palace in the official Papal apartment. However, Francis does not live there, opting for the simpler setting of the Vatican’s Santa Marta guest house.” (03/02/25)
