People in Rome and the Vatican are relying on their faith as they cope with the daily anxiety waiting to hear about the pope’s health.

Pope Francis continued oxygen therapy Wednesday from his armchair on the 10th floor of the Agostino Gemelli Hospital in Rome, according to the Holy See Press Office.

Pope Francis is sitting upright and receiving therapy for double pneumonia while he remains in critical condition.

The exhibit responds to Saint John Paul II’s call for greater understanding and devotion to the Shroud of Turin, which many believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. During his 1998 visit to the Shroud, the late pope reflected on its profound mystery, describing it as “a truly unique sign that points to Jesus.”
