Filipino Catholics attend mass at the Manila Cathedral on Feb. 21, 2025 and offer prayers for the recovery of Pope Francis. Manila's archbishop, Cardinal Jose Advincula, led the mass and asked the faithful to keep praying for the pope's recovery and the medical workers who have been helping him. Francis is being treated at Rome's Gemelli hospital, where he was admitted on Feb. 14 after struggling with breathing difficulties for several days.
