00:00Prayers were heard from different countries for the recovery of Pope Francis
00:05who is suffering from a double pneumonia.
00:07And the Holy Hour was held in Manila Cathedral for him.
00:11Witness, this is Jamie Santos.
00:17At around 5 p.m. yesterday, the Holy Hour was held in Manila Cathedral
00:22under the leadership of Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advencola.
00:26Let us appeal to God for our brothers and sisters who are sick and suffering,
00:33especially our dear Pope Francis.
00:36Parishes and communities in the Archdiocese of Manila
00:41were invited to join the Holy Hour and community prayers
00:45for the recovery of Pope Francis.
00:47When we storm heavens with our prayers as a community,
00:51that makes this gathering a special and indeed a meaningful one for us.
00:58The Pope is 88 years old,
01:01and for someone who is old to have pneumonia is something really serious.
01:08But of course, we are praying that the Lord will extend to him his healing hand.
01:15One in the Holy Hour is Ernie John.
01:19I am praying for Pope Francis that he will recover soon
01:24because he is the symbol of hope.
01:28In the prayer of Reynaldo, he holds daily
01:31the day of Pope Francis to strengthen his faith in God.
01:36Let us pray for Pope Francis as his healer,
01:40that he will get stronger and come back to us
01:44and at the same time, we can still be with him.
01:47From the church where the Holy Father used to worship
01:52when he was young in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
01:55until in front of the hospital where he was confined for a week
01:59because of a double pneumonia,
02:01the prayer for the recovery of Pope Francis was heard.
02:05On February 14, the 88-year-old Holy Father was brought to Gemelli Hospital
02:11for diagnostic tests and treatment of bronchitis,
02:14or the swelling of the airway in the lung.
02:16On Tuesday, the Vatican confirmed that the Holy Father had a double pneumonia,
02:21but they said it was in good spirits.
02:24This Wednesday, the Vatican reiterated that there was some improvement in his blood tests.
02:29The Holy Father was able to walk, read the diary, and was able to work.
02:34Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni also brought him
02:38and said that the Holy Father was alert and responsive
02:41and that he did not lose his sense of humor.
02:46Before he was confined, Pope Francis was read by the public
02:50to his general audience on February 12.
02:53And now I allow myself to ask the priest, the reader, to continue reading
03:01because I, with my bronchitis, can't do it yet.
03:06I hope that next time I can.
03:08But Pope Francis still remained for an hour's audience
03:12and was able to speak a few times.
03:15Pope Francis already had a few feelings in the past years.
03:19At the age of 21, he was removed part of his lung due to a respiratory infection.
03:25In 2021, he was removed part of his colon due to diverticulitis,
03:30or swelling in the large intestine.
03:33In 2023, he was operated on to remove abdominal hernia, or loose loss.
03:38He also has sciatica,
03:40a condition in the nerves that causes pain in the shoulder, back, and temple.
03:45He is also suffering from a problem in his knee.
03:48For GMA Integrated News, Jaime Santos is your witness.
