Pope Francis remains hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli hospital for the seventh day as concerns over his health intensify. Initially admitted for bronchitis, his condition worsened into pneumonia, sparking widespread prayers from the faithful.

“But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 30:17)

Sergio Alfieri, one of the doctors for Pope Francis, said he is a “fragile” patient given his advanced age and chronic health issues.
