Ya que la condición del Papa Francisco se mantiene estable, lo que es un signo de continua mejoría, el Santo Padre siguió el inicio del retiro de Cuaresma para la Curia Romana por videoconferencia y se reunió de nuevo con dos altos funcionarios del Vaticano para mantenerse al tanto de los acontecimientos de actualidad, dijo la oficina de prensa del Vaticano.

Brad Keith Sigmon, who was convicted of the 2001 murders of Gladys and David Larke, his ex-girlfriend’s parents, was executed March 7 and was pronounced dead at 6:08 p.m.
