The Holy See Press Office released a statement on Friday morning to update journalists on the ÐÓMAPµ¼º½'s night at Rome's Gemelli Hospital.

"The ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ had a quiet night," said the statement.

The ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ has been following the annual Spiritual Exercises of the Roman Curia via video link with the Paul VI Hall, which are scheduled to conclude on Friday.

Fr. Roberto Pasolini, OFM Cap, has offered twice-daily reflections on the theme "The Hope of Eternal Life" for officials of the Roman Curia.

On Friday, ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis continued the prescribed treatments, including motor physiotherapy. 

On Thursday evening, the Press Office said ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis had celebrated the 12th anniversary of his election to the See of Peter with healthcare staff attending him.

The Holy Father continues to alternate between non-invasive mechanical ventilation at night and high-flow oxygenation with nasal cannulas during the day.

The Press Office is expected to release a new medical bulletin on the ÐÓMAPµ¼º½'s health on Friday evening.

He was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on February 14 to receive treatment for bilateral pneumonia.
