Pope Francis had a quiet night and is resting, as he recovers from bilateral pneumonia at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, according to the Holy See Press Office on Monday morning.

On Sunday, the Press Office said the Pope is following the Spiritual Exercises of the Roman Curia via video link from his apartment in the hospital.

The Exercises began on Sunday afternoon in the Paul VI Hall and are being led by the Preacher of the Papal Household, Fr. Roberto Pasolini, OFM Cap.

A medical bulletin is expected to be released on Monday evening, as it was not published on Sunday due to the stability of his clinical condition.
