This is John Batchel, a conversation with a colleague Lorenzo Fiore in Milan about the Pope and his condition, which remains critical.

However, the Pope has been able to speak momentarily in Spanish to the worshippers gathered in St. Peter's Square to pray for him.

Here's Lorenzo to describe the moment and the very keen attention all Italy is paying

to the Pope's health, wanting him to recover, the prayers for him to recover, this tonight.

Yesterday, this news was the headline of any TV in Italy. And let me tell you that

it was very touchy, listening the voice of the Pope that was a very, very fatigue. He was speaking

in Spanish, not in Italian, to the people that were praying for him

in St. Peter Square. And he's few words thanking the people for the prayers that they are offering for his health.

The condition of the Pope are stable, according to the latest report of the medical doctors in the hospital in Rome.

But they also added that the prognosis remains critical condition.
