After appearing weaker than usual during the Palm Sunday celebration, Pope Francis reappeared on Monday with a full agenda. He had four official meetings and in one of them, he read his speech that lasted several minutes.
The Vatican also released details on the Pope's trip to Venice at the end of April. He is scheduled to deliver three speeches and a homily.
But these released details do not change the fact that the 87-year-old Pope has mobility and breathing problems. And in this delicate state of health, he is facing one of the busiest weeks of the year, Holy Week. As of now, there is no change in his schedule and Pope Francis will preside over all Easter events, including the Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum.
