Pope Francis Sends First Voice Message Since Hospitalization

In a brief audio message in Spanish, Pope Francis expressed his gratitude to the faithful praying for his recovery. The message was broadcast last night (06.03.2025) in St. Peter’s Square during the Rosary prayer. With a weak voice, the Pope addressed the Catholic faithful, emphasizing: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health, which come from St. Peter’s Square. I also pray from where I am. May God bless you and the Virgin protect you. Thank you.” This twenty-second message, recorded today at the Pope’s request, marks the first time his voice has been heard since he began receiving treatment about three weeks ago. According to doctors at the Agostino Gemelli hospital and the Vatican press office, the Pope’s health condition remains stable. While no significant changes have occurred, the next medical update is scheduled for Saturday. This morning, Pope Francis communicated and spent the day addressing issues related to the Roman Catholic Church, praying, and resting.
