Faithful gathered at Saint Peter Square and outside Gemelli Hospital on Tuesday (February 25) as Pope Francis, remains in critical condition.
The pope has met senior colleagues in the hospital to discuss work issues, the Vatican said on Tuesday, and an official said he was eating normally and moving around.
The 88-year-old pope was spending his 12th day at Rome's Gemelli hospital, the longest hospital stay of his nearly 12-year-old papacy.
A Vatican official, who did not wish to be named because he was not authorised to discuss the pope's condition, said Francis was eating normally, moving about his hospital room, and continuing his treatment.
The Vatican said Francis had met his second-in-line, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Parolin's deputy on Monday.
It said they had discussed several pending cases for sainthood. The Vatican also announced new appointments that would have needed the pope's approval.
Francis has been working occasionally from the hospital as Vatican business continues apace during his illness.
