Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for more than a week, had a peaceful night which “passed quietly” after suffering from a respiratory crisis on Saturday, the Holy See Press Office said Sunday morning.

The press office for the Vatican said Sunday that Pope Francis was able to rest overnight as he slowly recovers from double pneumonia after initially being hospitalized for bronchitis.

Pope Francis spent his tenth day in hospital Sunday as Catholics around the world prayed for his recovery, the day after the Vatican warned the 88-year-old’s condition was “critical”.
