Who was Pope Francis’s nurse?
Massimiliano served as Pope Francis’s personal nurse for almost three years and remained the Pope’s side through many health challenges.
One of the most difficult times came in 2021, when it was said he persuaded the Pope to undergo colon surgery.
The intervention was later recognized by the Pope himself as it saved his life.
According to the Vatican News, Massimiliano was more than just guardian; It was a trusted companion who stood next to Pope Francisko in his most dangerous times.
This includes the 38 days that the Pope stayed in hospital at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital after fighting a serious pneumonia case and even staying with him when he recovered at Casa Santa Marta of the Vatican.
What was the last statement that Pope Francis told his nurse?
As the Passover approached, the Pope, despite his weak health, was determined to appear the last time at St. Peter’s Square.
Before doing so, he asked his nurse:
“Do you think I can manage it?”
After attending the Easter celebration successfully, the Pope later expressed his sincere thanks to Massimiliano, telling him:
“Thank you for bringing me back to the field.”
The appearance of the Passover would be its last public participation.
The last hours in the world of Pope Francis
The Vatican confirmed that after the Easter Sunday service, the Pope rested and had a quiet evening.
The next morning, about 5:30 AM, the symptoms of a sudden illness began to appear, and despite the immediate intervention, his condition deteriorated quickly.
About an hour later, lying on his second floor in Casa Santa Marta, the Pope gave Massimiliano in silence, raising his hand at the last sign and shortly afterwards, he fell into a coma.
“He passed in peace, without suffering or visible fear. His was a wise death, almost suddenly, without prolonged suffering or public fear,” Vatican sources reported.
