Pope’s mild flu persists and audiences are canceled

Like last Saturday, for today the precaution has been taken to cancel the commitments on Pope Francis' agenda, although he does not have a fever

“Slight flu-like symptoms” not accompanied by fever. The Press Office of the Holy See updated this morning the Pope’s decision to suspend the scheduled audiences “out of caution”, as had already happened last Saturday when a similar note had reported the “mild flu condition” that the Holy Father was suffering from.

Yesterday the Angelus prayer

An unrest that yesterday, however, allowed the Pope to look out at the window of his study overlooking St. Peter’s Square at noon and preside over the prayer of the Sunday Angelus, followed by calls for peace in Ukraine, two years after the outbreak of the war, and for the return of dialogue in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, scenes of kidnappings and violence.
