Word from the Vatican on this Monday is that Pope Francis had a restful overnight in the hospital. The quote from the Press Office said: “The night went well; the Pope slept and is resting,”
But the Holy Father continues to be treated for double pneumonia and he is still listed in critical condition. Bishop Lucia has offered a prayer (see below) that all of us can continue to say for Pope Francis.
The Bishop will also be offering a special Rosary today. Everyone is invited to via the Diocesan YouTube Channel. If you don’t make it at the 3pm start time, please connect here and you can replay it and join in the Rosary. Diocesan YouTube Channel
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Francis,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd.
Grant him health so he may continue to spread your Hope in the world.
Through word and example
May he continue to be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
God Bless,
Deacon Tom
