Pope Francis needs to be careful. With eleven Swiss guards testing positive for the coronavirus and more testing to take place, it is certain there are others who will test positive. I pray the one guard who stands outside the door where Pope Francis stays at the Santa Marta guesthouse, is not positive. (Or the others who have had that shift.)
The Pope has so many challenges to deal with. He's trying so hard to straighten out the Curia, no easy task. There is a deadly, invisible virus, lurking all around him. Cases are trending up throughout Europe, unfortunately. The Pope should be careful, because of his age-83 and because he has another preexisting condition, a part of his lung was removed when he was young. Then he has all the stress he has to deal with.
Maybe he should retire soon, as Pope Benedict did. It's all too much for an 83 year old to deal with in my opinion. Pope Benedict set a precedent for it, so it wouldn't be so shocking.
May the Holy Spirit guide him and the Church through these unusual and stressful times we are living through.
