STORYLINE:
Pope Francis was up and receiving therapy on Monday after apparently overcoming a setback in his recovery from pneumonia.
The Vatican said he is stable, off mechanical ventilation and is showing no sign of new infection following a respiratory crisis late last week.
“The pope rested well all night,” the Vatican said in its update from Gemelli hospital, where Francis has been hospitalized since Feb. 14.
On Monday, he had coffee and breakfast and was undergoing therapy.
Father Jorge Montalvo, a priest from Spain, told The Associated Press, the Pope’s health crisis had united the Catholic Church in prayer.
“We are hoping he will recover and that God will allow him continue with his mission according to his will," he said.
