Time.news – “Dear brothers and sisters, happy Sunday. I can’t look out today out the window because I have this inflammation problem. A reading the reflection will be Monsignor Braida who knows them well because he is the one who does them and he does them very well. Thank you so much for your presence”. Thus Pope Francis via video link from Casa Santa Marta for the Angelus.
The prayer was broadcast live on television and on the screens in St. Peter’s Square by Vatican Media and in streaming on the Vatican News website. For a few days Pope Bergoglio has canceled the hearings due to a mild flu condition. Next week it is expected, from Friday 1 December to Sunday 3 December, the apostolic trip to Dubai, to participate in COP 28.
In recent days, Pope Francis underwent a CT scan at the Gemelli Isola Hospital in Rome, to exclude the risk of pulmonary complications. The test gave a negative result and the Pope returned to Casa Santa Marta.
The video link and above all the reflection read in his place by Monsignor Paolo Braida, are a unpublished. Also different from the pandemic lockdown, during which the Angelus were recited from the Apostolic Palace without appearing.
An unprecedented development therefore evidently recommended by the precaution of what happened yesterday, when the director of the Press Office of the Holy See Matteo Bruni reported to the media about the cancellation of the Saturday audiences on the papal agenda due to the “slight state of flu” that Francis had suffered, and of the CT scan which the Pope had undergone at the Gemelli Isola Hospital in Rome, “to exclude the risk of pulmonary complications”, specifying that the test had given “negative results”.
