Pope Francis has been suffering from a cold that has made him cancel some events. Added to the respiratory discomfort are his problems getting around, which have been with him for some years.
The pontiff requested help from his custodians, who brought him a wheelchair to walk the perimeter of the fence that separates him from the parishioners who attend the audience every Wednesday. The Vatican confirmed that Francis will preside over all Holy Week celebrations Despite the health problems that afflict him, the Vatican confirmed the presence of the Pope at all the events of Holy Week.
