“The Pope Emeritus was able to rest well last night, he is absolutely lucid and vigil and today, although his condition remains serious, the situation at the moment is stable. Pope Francis renews his invitation to pray for him and accompany him in these difficult hours.” This was announced by the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, taking stock of Benedict XVI’s health condition.
