Pope Francis, 88, has been hospitalized since February 14, 2025, due to double pneumonia. As of today, he continues to rest and work from his bed at Rome\u2019s Gemelli University Hospital, receiving therapies including motor physiotherapy and respiratory therapy<\/p>\n

Despite his hospitalization, Pope Francis remains engaged in his papal duties. He expressed gratitude towards volunteers and healthcare workers for their \u201cmiracle of tenderness,\u201d acknowledging the care he has received. For the fourth consecutive Sunday, he missed his weekly blessing, but provided a message extending thanks to those supporting the sick. Cardinal Michael Czerny led the Holy Year Mass for volunteers in his place.<\/p>\n

In his 2024 memoir, Pope Francis reflected on the impact of Pope Benedict XVI\u2019s historic resignation, highlighting its courageous and humble nature. Despite having written a resignation letter for medical incapacitation soon after becoming pope, Francis has no current plans to resign, as he maintains good health and many future projects.<\/p>\n
