The Pope, tired, does not deliver the Palm Sunday homily: in silence in front of the 25 thousand faithful in St. Peter's Square.
After reading the Gospel, delivered in a tired and somewhat weak voice, he put aside the text he had prepared to read. He remained silent for several minutes and the celebration continued with the Creed. After the reading of the Gospel,. several minutes of silence could be observed for personal reflection and then the Creed was recited directly. It is Palm Sunday, the holiday that marks the beginning of Holy Week for Catholics.
