Pope Francis rested well overnight, according to the Holy See Press Office on Tuesday morning.

“The Pope rested well, the whole night,” said a statement.

On Monday evening, the Press Office noted that his clinical condition remains critical but showed slight improvement during the day.

“No episodes of asthma-like respiratory distress occurred [on Monday], and some laboratory tests have shown improvement. The monitoring of his mild kidney insufficiency has not raised any concerns. Oxygen therapy continues, although with slightly reduced flow and oxygen levels.”

The Pope received the Eucharist in the morning, worked in the afternoon, and called the Catholic parish in Gaza to thank them for a video message they had sent him. (Vatican News)
