The Vatican has allayed public fears that Pope Francis is recovering well as it reported that the pontiff “slept well” and was experiencing signs of improvement after suffering from recent health issues. The 87-year-old Catholic Church leader has been beset by a series of health problems in recent years, which has heightened fears among the faithful across the globe.
In spite of his poor health, Pope Francis has kept up with his papal responsibilities, albeit with some help at times. The Vatican has insisted that his medical team keeps a close eye on his health, providing him with whatever care he needs while fitting in his hectic schedule.
In recent public outings, Francis has been spotted on a wheelchair and having breathing difficulties, but his spirit is unbroken. He has often stressed his dedication to serving the Church and its people in spite of physical constraints.
With his improving health, Vatican officials are optimistic that Pope Francis will soon resume his normal schedule, including future religious observances and foreign engagements. The world’s Catholic faithful are still praying for his speedy recovery and continued good health.
