The Holy Father remained stable today, without episodes of respiratory insufficiency.

As planned, during the day he received high-flow oxygen therapy, and during the night, non-invasive mechanical respiration was resumed.

The Holy Father increased his respiratory and active motor physiotherapy.

He spent the day in an armchair.

Considering the complexity of the clinical picture, the prognosis remains reserved.

This morning, in the private apartment located on the tenth floor, the Holy Father participated in the rite of the blessing of the Holy Ashes and they were imposed by the celebrant; he then received the Eucharist.

He then devoted himself to some work activities.

During the course of the morning he also called Fr. Gabriel Romanelli, parish priest of the Holy Family in Gaza.

In the afternoon he alternated between rest and work.
