The Holy See Press Office said Saturday that the text prepared by Pope Francis for the Angelus will be published at noon, while the Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelisation will read the homily prepared by the Pope for the Jubilee of Deacons.
As Pope Francis continues his therapy at the Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital, following the precautions outlined yesterday by his medical team, the scheduled events for Sunday, February 22, will follow the same format as the previous week.
According to the Vatican Press Office— which reported via Telegram this morning that the Pope “slept well”— Francis will not lead the Angelus prayer at noon. Instead, the text will be published at that same time, as was done last Sunday.
The Jubilee of Deacons
Before the Marian prayer, a Mass with diaconal ordinations is scheduled at 9 AM in St. Peter’s Basilica as part of the Jubilee celebrations for deacons.
The Holy See Press Office announced that the celebrant will be Archbishop Rino Fisichella, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelisation’s Section for Fundamental Questions of Evangelisation in the World. He will read the homily prepared by Pope Francis for the occasion.
