There was excitement as Pope Francis, 87, was unable to address an audience in person at the Vatican yesterday and required help at different times of the day as he was unable to board his official vehicle.
The pope asked his collaborator, Italian priest Pierluigi Giroli, to read his catechism at the public audience in St. Peter’s Square on his behalf, assuring the faithful that he was still “cold”.

“I thank you all,” the pope said before 6,000 faithful gathered in the square. “I have prepared a speech, but you are sorry that I cannot read it because of bronchitis.”
Later, unable to get into his papal car, he asked a janitor to help him in his wheelchair through a fence near the audience.
Despite health issues plaguing him, including some knee problems, the Vatican confirmed Wednesday that the pope will attend all events of Holy Week, from Palm Sunday, March 24, to March 31, and celebrate Resurrection Masses.
