During the day he alternated the prayer and rested, and this morning he received the Eucharist, he added.

Pope Francis must miss the procession and mass on Wednesday, which marks the first day of the great great great time leading to Easter.

He could not personally put his traditional Angelus prayer for each of the last three Sundays.
