Faithful Catholics from around the world have been gathering at the Vatican to pray the rosary for His Holiness Pope Francis, whose "clinical condition over the last few days has remained stable and, consequently, shows a good response to the therapies."

The Press Office also said Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin and the Substitute for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State, Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, visited the hospital to see the Pope. They said the pope is resting.
