For the second night in a row, hundreds gathered in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican where pro-prefect for the Dicastery of Evangelization Cardinal Luis Tagle led the Eternal City in a rosary.
It’s a prayer for Pope Francis’ recovery that’s being repeated by Catholics around the world, from the Diocese of Brooklyn to the Holy Father’s home country of Argentina.
Hundreds gathered at Plaza Constitucion in Buenos Aires – where the pope would celebrate an annual Mass condemning global poverty, inequality, and injustice when he was their shepherd – for a special open air Mass praying for his recovery.
And even in the middle of a war zone the Holy Father is being remembered: Holy Family Parish in Gaza, who Pope Francis has continued to call despite his illness, sent well wishes to the pontiff via video.
