38 days from Francisco in the hospital: dates and noise for peace

Salvator Cinosio – Vatican City

Five years ago, this afternoon, there were isolated in Plaza de San Pedro, full of light bulbs and sirens echoes. All humanity was confined to their homes due to the Covid-19s, but the Pope was, in the heart of Christianity, alone, although the appearance, the currents, the prayers of everyone. “We realized that we were in the same boat, and we all recovered and educated, but at the same time important and necessary, they are all invited to assembly together, all of which need mutual comfort. In this boat … we are all,” Francisco said after that.

Five years later, the Pope is “confined” in his home, Santa Marta, is to follow the recovery that doctors determine after bilateral pneumonia that endangers his life twice at risk and forced the hospital for 38 days. On its own, but physically accompanied by the closest medical, cooperative and spiritual team through the prayers of many, even those who do not believe. Fragile but firm – and even on March 27, 2025, as in 2020 – a reference point for the lost humanity. The storm is no longer an epidemic, but wars and crises, arms races, and the lives of peoples who were strangled by violence and infidelity. “On this ship … we are all.”

His view of the world and the church

Jorge Mario Bergulio does not stop directing this boat, and has not stopped doing it even during the great fasting at the Jimili Hospital, between respiratory emergencies, drug treatments and natural treatments. His hands appear on the helm of the church, and his eyes on the horizons of Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, all of which are torn in the war that “from here”, from the tenth floor of the health center, “more hotter”. Written phrase in contemplation Angelos March 2 And printed in collective memory.

March 2 was the second of the six reflections that were released on Sunday’s six days since February 14, the day of its entrance, when the special study window of the Vatican Apostolic Palace was closed. In all of its reflections, no indication of the conflict positions was reduced, From the first meditation on February 16th Until Sunday 23, on the eve of the third anniversary of the beginning of the great aggression on a large scale against Ukraine. A painful and shameful memory of all humanity. The Pope described it, and called for the “victims of all armed conflicts” to remember “a prayer for the gift of peace in Palestine, in Israel and in all the Middle East, in Myanmar, in Kivu and Sudan.” An invitation was also extended in Angelos on Sunday 9 March, first of the great fastingHe expressed his “concern” for the emergence of violence in Syria, and asked “full respect for all ethnic and religious components of society, especially civilians.”

Then, 16, Sunday crowded with children of different nationalities in the exploration of Al -Jumaili, For those who requested support in prayer, especially “countries that have been in war.”

once again, On March 23, your medical discharge dayFrancisco participated in the resumption of the Israeli bombings on Gaza: “I ask to stop weapons immediately; and that the value of the resumption of the dialogue is made, so that all hostages are launched and the final fire is reached,” as he wrote “a very combined group.”

“Disturbing words, minds and land”

Not only Angelus, among the words of peace that was published from the health center, who sent to the director of Corriere Della Sera, Luciano Fontana, in a message in response to a message in which the rapid recovery was affected.

The message was published on the same days of the controversial announcement of the “RLMMARUPE” plan, in which the Pope urges disarmament, starting with words that there are only words: They are facts that build human environments. They can contact, divide it, serve or serve the truth. “We must disarm the words, disarm the minds and disturb the earth,” the bishop of Rome falls, “while the war destroys societies and the environment only, without providing solutions to conflicts, diplomacy and international organizations that need a new life and credibility.”

More than 40 appointments and chirographer

The small company, Francesco, concludes the message to the Italian newspaper. The Pope concluded her under signed documents during her hospitalization days. In the six weeks of the hospital, he has appointed 44 appointments, including bishops, bishops, Nonsense (Burkina Faso, Chile, Belarus) and also announced The beginning of the mandate of the head of the Vatican city, the wall of Rafaella PetriniOn February 15, the next day for hospital treatment.

The beginning of the track

Within 38 days to the rudder of the boat during the storm of illness and the global situation, there are also four educational instructions for public masses on Wednesday (19 Y February 26 – 5 Y March 19Six messages (among them, Great fasting message Or directed For participants in the General Assembly of the papal academy for lifeto The Hajj pilgrimage for lifeand To the General Assembly of the papal committee for the protection of minors), And this The message was sent to the Cardinal Mario GrishThe Secretary -General of the Senodes, to establish the start of the flight line that leads to an ecclesiastical group in 2028 in the Vatican, and to unify what was done until then, without calling a new Synod.
