Pope Francis refrains from participating in Lenten meditation today The Vatican had earlier announced that the pope would partake in a week-long meditation at the Pauline Fathers Retreat Center in Arizia, south of Rome. But today, after midday prayer in the Vatican, Pope Francis has announced that he will not be able to meditate this year because of severe colds.
The pope requested that all of us pray at his home and to join him in spiritual meditation. Meanwhile, with the spread of coronavirus in various parts of Italy, populist populism has spread to the media. But this has been denied by the Vatican media. For the past three days, the pope has avoided public contact due to fatigue. Today, however, Angelus joins in the prayer and delivers the message to believers.
