Pope Francis: ‘I’m a little old, a little sick’

Reuters

ROME (Reuters) – Pope Francis on Sunday asked a group of elderly and sick members of Rome’s seaside parish to pray for him because he, too, had grown old and was ailing.

“Pray for me, too, eh,” Francis told the parishioners in a private meeting that was later broadcast by Catholic channel TV2000.
