On a fine Wednesday, he got a visit from the brave Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who declared him "alert and responsive," and full o' mirth, like a true sea captain, even in his sickness!

Meloni spent a good twenty minutes with the Holy Father, swappin' jests like old shipmates. She shared that their banter be as lively as a tavern on a Friday night! The Vatican be tellin' tales of slight improvements in his health—his blood tests showin' signs of fightin' spirit, like a pirate who just had a hefty mug o' rum!

His loyal vicar urged the good folk to raise their voices in prayer, lightin' candles in hopes our pope returns to full health.
