The Holy See Press Office reported on Monday, March 10, 2025, that the Pope spent a peaceful night and was able to rest.

This afternoon's medical report notes that the Holy Father's clinical condition remains stable, but also added that "the improvements recorded in previous days have been further consolidated, as confirmed by blood tests, clinical objectivity and good response to pharmacological therapy."

He then added that the doctors have dared, for the first time, to predict that the Pope could even leave the hospital in a few days: "given the complexity of the clinical picture and the important infectious condition presented at the time of admission, it will be necessary to continue, for a few more days, the pharmacological medical therapy in a hospital environment", that is, for the first time, the possibility that the Pope could soon return to the Vatican.

Spiritual Exercises of the Curia

In the morning, the Pope followed by video from his armchair the spiritual exercises of the Roman Curia, which began the previous evening in the Paul VI Hall. At the end of today's meditations, at 6:00 p.m., in the Paul VI Hall, a Rosary will be said for his recovery.

The Holy Father has been informed about the recent floods in Argentina and expressed his closeness to the people affected.
