CWN Editor's Note: Due to breathing difficulties attributed to bronchitis, Pope Francis will remain in his residence on Friday and Saturday, February 7 and 8, the Vatican press office has announced.
The Pope will continue his regular work schedule, but hold meetings and audiences at the St. Martha residence.
