The Pontiff's health conditions are worrying. Pope Francis did not read the homily he had prepared for the Palm Sunday Mass. Introducing the rites he showed a tired voice and at the end of the reading of the Gospel there followed a moment of silence, then directly the Creed without the traditional "sermon".

Bergoglio instead spoke, again with difficulty, at the Angelus. In his speech the Holy Father spoke, among other things, about the attack on the Crocus concert hall in Moscow: «I assure you of my prayers for the victims of the cowardly terrorist attack carried out the other evening in Moscow. May the Lord welcome them into his peace and comfort their families. And convert the hearts of those who protect, organize and carry out these inhuman actions which offend God, who commanded you shall not kill'", said the pontiff.

Francis then called for forgetting the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, "where there is so much suffering", as well as "in many other places of war".
