Doctors and the Vatican assured on Sunday that Pope Francis' condition is "stable" as he rests and continues to recover in the hospital from double pneumonia.

The Pope again missed the weekly noon Mass and canceled his scheduled Angelus prayer for the third consecutive time.

In their daily update, the Vatican stated that "the night was calm, and the Pope is still resting.

Pope Francis did not experience a fever or an increase in white blood cell count, which would indicate that his body is still fighting an infection.

On Saturday, doctors mentioned that the 88-year-old Pope's condition is stable without indicating it is critical, and they reported continued improvement.

The optimistic evaluation from the doctors came a day after the Pope experienced a respiratory crisis that led to him being placed on non-invasive ventilation.
