The Pope has asked for prayers Benedict XVI 95 years old, whose state of health is extremely weak, and has pointed out “is very sick”.
Francis has therefore requested a “special prayer” for the pope emeritus “who silently supports the Church”. “Is very sick. Let us ask God to comfort and sustain him in his testimony of love for the Church to the end,” the pope said during Wednesday’s general audience.
Although it has 95 years and reduced his public agenda to a minimum, Benedict XVI continues to receive visitors. On August 27, as is his custom, at the end of the consistory, the pope emeritus met the new cardinals created by Francis. However, their health condition prevented them from talking to them.
According to those around him, despite the natural ailments associated with his advanced age, he has retained his full intellectual clarity. However, over the past two years, his health has deteriorated dramatically. In addition to problems articulating words, he is unable to move on his own and requires a wheelchair at all times.
