Pope Francis is resting Thursday after a peaceful night during his third week of hospital treatment for double pneumonia.

Pope Francis had a good night in hospital in Rome, the Vatican said on Thursday morning, where he is being treated for pneumonia. "The night passed quietly; the pope is still resting," the Holy See Press Office said in a statement.

Pope Francis was heard for the first time since being hospitalized for double pneumonia in a recorded message that was played in St. Peter's Square. He thanked his supporters.
