After the audience, the Pope goes to Gemelli Tiberina. 'I still have a bit of a cold, which is why I asked Monsignor Ciampanelli to read today's catechesis', began the Pope.

Even in the audience with the Armenians he had not read the prepared text but had entrusted it to his collaborator. He entered the Nervi Hall in a wheelchair accompanied by an assistant. The Pontiff entrusted the reading of the prepared speech to one of his collaborators, Msgr. Filippo Ciampsi.
