John Paul II Plans Silent Blessing From Hospital Window
Vatican officials say the frail 84 year old pope met a senior cardinal and will give a silent blessing from his Gemelli Polyclinic hospital window. He undergoes breathing and speech therapy after throat surgery on February 24 to ease his respiratory crises and will join the Angelus prayer from his room before blessing the crowd outside.
