87-year-old Pope Francis skipped his homily during Palm Sunday Mass due to illness.

87-year-old Pope Francis skipped reading his homily during a Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square, but continued presiding at the service, reading parts of the Mass. In recent weeks, the Pope has been suffering from bronchitis and influenza. It is unusual for a Pope to skip a homily at a major event like Palm Sunday, which marks the start of Holy Week. The Vatican did not immediately provide an explanation for the Pope's decision.
