Pope Francis prayed for the health of Argentine Nobel laureate Perez Esquivel and also conveyed his closeness towards him.
Pope Francis sent a short note on Sunday to an Argentine peace activist as he recovers in hospital.
Adolfo Perez Esquivel suffered an undiagnosed health scare at the start of the new year. He was admitted to a hospital in the seaside resort of Mar del Plata, Argentina.
“May Jesus bless you and the Holy Virgin watch over you,” concluded the Pope sending his jotting to him.
Bishop Mestre visited Mr. Perez Esquivel in hospital on New Year’s Day, where he remains in stable condition.
