Catholics mark Pope's 12th anniversary with prayers for his recovery

Rome, Mar 13 (UNI) Catholics around the world are marking the 12th anniversary of Pope Francis's election as pontiff by praying for his recovery.
Francis, who was elected on 13 March 2013, has been in Rome's Gemelli hospital for almost a month. He is being treated for double pneumonia and other infections, and has suffered several respiratory crises, which raised concerns about his survival.
Latest bulletins from the Vatican have said the 88-year-old is stable after a chest X-ray confirmed "improvements" in his condition in recent days, according to a BBC report.
