Precautionary Measure

The Holy See Press Office informed journalists that Pope Francis has cancelled his engagements on Saturday morning. This decision was made as a precautionary measure due to a mild, flu-like condition. Last week, the Pope participated in the Lenten Spiritual Exercises, a period of prayer and recollection. During this time, all of the Pontiff's engagements were suspended, including the general audience on Wednesday. Papal appointments were scheduled to resume today.

Importance of Spiritual Exercises

Pope Francis has emphasized the importance of a personal experience of the annual spiritual exercises for himself and his collaborators in the Roman Curia. The Lenten Spiritual Exercises provide a dedicated time for prayer and reflection, allowing individuals to deepen their spiritual connection. It is during this period that the Pope took part and prioritized his well-being by cancelling engagements to ensure his recovery.
