Pope Francis will not lead liturgical celebrations at the turn of the year as planned due to a painful inflammation of the sciatic nerve. However, the Vatican press office announced that it would say the noon prayer on January 1 as scheduled in the library of the Apostolic Palace. Thanksgiving Eve at St. Peter’s Basilica on Thursday evening will be presided over by the Dean of the College of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re.
The Mass of the Solemnity of Our Lady, however, is celebrated by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin. As planned, Pope Francis himself will deliver the Angelus on January 1 in the library of the Apostolic Palace.
