Pope Francis’s Health Concerns Alter the Palm Sunday Mass
Pope Francis chose not to deliver his sermon during Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square due to health concerns such as bad knees and respiratory difficulties.
He blessed palm fronds rather than joining in the procession, and broadcasters reported that he would not deliver the planned sermon.
The Mass, attended by around 25,000 people, marked the start of Holy Week, which will culminate in Easter Sunday.
Francis has a full agenda, including ceremonies like the washing of the feet ritual and the Way of the Cross procession.
