Cardinal Michael Czerny will temporarily assume some papal duties, including reading the Pope's prepared homily at the Jubilee of the World of Volunteering Mass, as Pope Francis cannot deliver the Sunday Angelus in St. Peter's Square.

Despite his condition, the Pope maintains a balance of prayer, rest, and limited work activities. A team of doctors closely monitors his progress, while a Holy Rosary prayer vigil led by Cardinal Czerny has been organized in St. Peter's Square to support his recovery.
