"As in recent days, the night passed calmly, and the
Pope is now resting," read a Holy See Press Office statement on Friday
morning, as Pope Francis receives treatment for bilateral pneumonia at
Rome's Gemelli Hospital.
After waking up this morning, the Holy Father ate breakfast
and read a few newspapers. He continues his treatment and breathing
physiotherapy.
The Vatican also announced on Friday that Cardinal Angelo De
Donatis, Major Penitentiary of Apostolic Penitentiary, will preside at the
traditional celebration of the Ash Wednesday liturgy on the Aventine, which
will take place on 5 March.
According to the Thursday evening press release, the Pope's
clinical condition continued to improve, though it remains "complex."
The Press Office added that his prognosis remains guarded.
"He alternated high-flow oxygen therapy with a
Ventimask. Due to the complexity of the clinical picture, further days of
clinical stability are needed to clarify the prognosis," said the Thursday
statement.
He spent Thursday afternoon in prayer in the chapel of his
private apartment at the Gemelli hospital and received the Eucharist. He also
engaged in several work-related activities.
