Pope Francis stays in a critical but stable condition in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, with a “slight improvement” in his overall health.

The Pope was hospitalised over every week ago on account of issues with bronchitis, since then medical tests have revealed pneumonia in each lungs and problems along with his kidneys.

In its update on the Pope’s health, the Vatican said on Wednesday morning, “The Pope had a quiet night and is resting.”

He can be continuing along with his work from hospital.

A Vatican statement on Tuesday evening read, “There have been no acute respiratory episodes, and hemodynamic parameters proceed to be stable.

“In the evening, he underwent a scheduled CT scan to radiologically monitor the bilateral pneumonia. The prognosis stays guarded.

“In the morning, after receiving the Eucharist, he resumed work activities.”

An earlier statement confirmed that doctors remain “cautious” in regards to the Pope’s prognosis on account of the “complexity of the clinical picture”. According to reports within the Daily Mail, Pope Francis has warned a few of those near him that he may not survive.

Catholics all over the world are praying for the Pope’s health. In Britain, the pinnacle of the Catholic church in England and Wales, Cardinal Vincent Nichols wrote to the Pope last week, assuring him of the prayers and support of the faithful.

“[I] assure you of the prayers of so many here in England and Wales. The prayers of the Catholic community are fervent and heartfelt. Many others, I’m sure, are joining on this prayer in your recovery and continued health,” he said. 

Despite the severity of his condition, the Pope has continued to perform what duties he can. He has continued to point out special interest within the Holy Family Parish in Gaza and has been in close contact with the leadership of the congregation there.

In addition the Pope has also been opening the trail to sainthood to quite a few candidates, including Father Emil Kapaun, a US Army chaplain who served in World War Two and died in a jail camp in the course of the Korean War.
