Medical evaluations indicate a positive change in the Pope’s inflammatory indices. Despite his health concerns, the 87-year-old Pontiff continued his regular activities, met with his closest collaborators, and received Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for a private 20-minute meeting.

The Vatican’s statement confirmed that Pope Francis began his day with breakfast, read newspapers, and proceeded with his scheduled work engagements. Before lunch, he received the Eucharist.
