Francis got sick at the start of the Vatican&#8217;s Holy Year, the once-every-quarter-century celebration of Catholicism. This weekend, Francis was supposed to have celebrated deacons, a ministry in the church that precedes ordination to the priesthood.<\/p>\n<p>In his place, the Holy Year organizer will celebrate Sunday&#8217;s Mass, the Vatican said. And for the second weekend in a row, Francis was expected to skip his traditional Sunday noon blessing, which he could have delivered from Gemelli if he were up to it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Look, even though he&#8217;s not (physically) here, we know he&#8217;s here,&#8221; said Luis Arnaldo Lopez Quirindongo, a deacon from Ponce, Puerto Rico who was at the Vatican on Saturday for the Jubilee celebration. &#8220;He&#8217;s recovering, but he&#8217;s in our hearts and is accompanying us because our prayers and his go together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As his hospital stay drags on, some of Francis&#8217; cardinals have begun responding to the obvious question: whether Francis might resign if he becomes irreversibly sick and unable to carry on. Francis has said he would consider it, after Pope Benedict XVI &#8220;opened the door&#8221; to popes retiring, but has shown no signs of stepping down and in fact has asserted recently that the job of pope is for life<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/div>\n<p><script async
