Pope Francis visited Ostia and spoke before the gathered faithful who were comprised of people with special needs, and the elderly. The Pope asked the faithful to pray for him, since he is old and facing various health problems, not serious in nature.

The new statements by the beloved Pope stirred fears that he is facing a serious problem, since he had stated to journalists that his tenure as Pope would only last for two to three years, believing that he would pass away soon.

The Pope stated that he is very happy that the community he spoke before, takes care of its ill and elderly.
