Vatican announced that Pope Francis‘ breathing and speech continues to improve while his oxygen administration is decreasing.

Regarding the customary Sunday blessing to the faithful, it was made known that “this time it may be carried out in a different way than in recent weeks“.

This means that the pontiff’s message might not be distributed in writing to journalists, but that the Pope might bless the crowd himself.

More details are to be announced tomorrow.

As for the Holy Week of Catholic Easter, which this year coincides with Orthodox Easter, the Holy See stressed that it is still too early to report on whether the Pope will be able to preside over the various religious ceremonies.
