Pope Francis remains in the hospital, and his condition is still considered serious. He has been hospitalized for about three weeks now, so please continue to keep him in your prayers. We remembered him at Mass.
One of the most memorable moments of my time in New York was in 2015 when I attended Mass at Madison Square Garden during the Pope’s visit to America. It was the first time I had ever been in such a large crowd at MSG. I vividly remember him celebrating Mass, and I loved every moment of it. At the end of the mass, he spoke in English and said, "Please don't forget to pray for me." That moment has stayed with me ever since.
It is easy for us to assume that someone like the Pope does not need prayers, but just like all of us, flawed and human, he does. Now, as he faces serious ill-health, it is even more important that we remember to pray for him daily.
May God's will be done.
Dear Lord, we commend our Pope Francis into Your hands. Heal him, strengthen him, and keep him. Amen.
Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful Sunday.
Pal Ronnie
