Pope Francis decided to skip the Good Friday procession at the Colosseum due to health concerns but confirmed he would lead the Easter Vigil service. The 87-year-old pontiff has been battling respiratory issues, leading him to cancel events and speeches. He recently stayed home from presiding over the Way of the Cross procession to conserve his health for upcoming Easter obligations. Despite his health challenges and past surgeries, Pope Francis insists he has no health issues that would necessitate his resignation and remains committed to his various projects.
