[HIGHLIGHTS] At the last minute, Pope Francis resigned from presiding over the Good Friday Stations of the Cross to take care of his health.

Pope Francis resigned at the last minute from presiding over the Good Friday Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome. The Supreme Pontiff had participated in the Holy Thursday mass and also had an activity this Friday.

He would lead the masses on Saturday and Sunday at the Vatican. Until this unforeseen event, Francis participated normally in the rest of the rites of Roman Holy Week and even last Wednesday he walked into the general audience with the faithful, although he usually does so in the wheelchair he uses.
