pope Francisco Last Sunday, he put the appointments on his agenda on hold to devote himself to his personal Lenten spiritual exercises and within the Vatican, and this Saturday morning he plans to meet with the deacons of the Diocese of Rome.

Pope Francis and his health issues

I remember that a few years ago, he and his superiors from the Holy See conducted Lenten spiritual practice outside the Vatican and moved to the “House of the Holy Master” in the town of Ariccia, 45 kilometers away from Rome. This is a restrained, quiet monastery that allows you to devote yourself to your spiritual practice more quietly.

But Pope Francis has been practicing alone since 2020, when he was doing spiritual practice alone in the Vatican due to a cold. In 2021, the epidemic has caused certain restrictions on its development.

This resulted in pope francisco He no longer engages in spiritual seclusion with the Holy See, and in 2022 and 2023 the Pope prefers to retire alone during Lent: a situation that will be repeated in 2024.

But at the end of November last year, Francis fell ill with bronchitis and had to cancel some planned events and celebrate the Angelus privately and without looking out the window in front of the faithful in St. Peter’s Square.

In this Sunday’s Angelus reflection, Pope Francis invites the faithful to spend Lent: “Lent has a beautiful purpose: to cultivate an open perspective, to become seekers of light, seeking in prayer and in people Light of Jesus,” he asked Catholics.
