How바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Pope Francis doing? Can you give him my get-well wishes? Can I speak with him directly?The nuns who operate the Vatican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s switchboard are fielding a growing number of calls with questions like that as the pope remains hospitalized in Rome.Video above: Pope marks the 12th anniversary of his papacy hospitalized but with condition improving바카라 게임 웹사이트�They feel like children waiting to know about their father,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Sister Anthony, who runs the operation in a spartan office steps away from St. Peter바카라 게임 웹사이트�s. Basilica. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We tell them to pray for him.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Vatican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s central number is public 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and the sisters of the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master make sure all who call it get a real person, not the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�press 1 for English, 2 for Latin바카라 게임 웹사이트� version of the automation that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s become the norm at major institutions and businesses worldwide.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s the Vatican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s voice 바카라 게임 웹사이트� a voice that despite the digitalization of communications, the Vatican wants to preserve as a human voice,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Mother Micaela, the order바카라 게임 웹사이트�s mother superior.The Pious Disciples sisters are part of the 100-year-old Pauline orders, which are focused on communications, including landmark Catholic publishing operations around the world. In spring 1970, they were called to operate the Vatican switchboard and instructed by the then-mother superior to be 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a voice that does good because through the phone wire it communicates Christ himself.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Today, often with headsets over their veils, the sisters cover the phones for 12 hours a day, seven days a week, in front of large monitors that show the incoming call's country of origin. Gendarmes, the Vatican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s police, take the night shift.About a dozen sisters hailing from Italy, the Philippines, Poland and elsewhere take calls from around the world, predominantly in Italian, English and Spanish.Many callers just need to be directed to the right Vatican office or official, and the sisters oblige with the aid of massive yearbooks and directories, as well as a solid knowledge of protocols and a hefty dose of discretion, Sister Anthony said.Those who call asking for financial help are put through to the Vatican almoner바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office, which has provided aid recently to victims of war in Ukraine, floods in Brazil, and homelessness in Naples in southern Italy.On a recent afternoon, standing by her office chair decorated with a flower-embroidered pillow, Sister Gabriella took a call from a priest inquiring about jointly celebrating a Mass with other priests as part of his jubilee pilgrimage. Since 2025 is a Holy Year for the Catholic Church, with 32 million pilgrims projected to visit Rome, related calls make up a large part of the 50-70 queries the nuns answer daily.But then there are callers with questions the sisters can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t just look up or patch through 바카라 게임 웹사이트� those in distress or angry or hopeless.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We never get a call that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s the same as the previous one,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Sister Simona, who바카라 게임 웹사이트�s worked the switchboard for 15 years.Counseling or comfortFrancis has built a reputation for eschewing formalities 바카라 게임 웹사이트� from his way of dressing to his personal outreach to the poor and marginalized before his hospitalization 바카라 게임 웹사이트� that projects more parish priest than head of state and leader of a global religion with 1.4 billion followers.So some callers ask the nuns to just put him on the line.바카라 게임 웹사이트�People of simple faith don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t understand that the pope cannot speak with everyone,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Sister Gabriella said.Video below: Pope Francis thanks people for their prayers in audio messageOthers need counseling or comfort. The sisters try to provide it within the boundaries of limited time and not being misconstrued as official Vatican spokespeople.바카라 게임 웹사이트�But if I can give consolation or hope, I think that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s OK,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Sister Anthony, who came to the Vatican a year ago from her native Philippines, where she was a provincial superior. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Some calls are very triggering.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Among those calling with concerns about the pope recently was a woman who told Sister Anthony that she is Muslim but likes Francis, and wanted to inquire about his health.바카라 게임 웹사이트�That바카라 게임 웹사이트�s very impressive for me,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the sister recalled, while adding that some callers are far less friendly. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Others are angry with the church, so we listen respectfully.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�We feel very empowered바카라 게임 웹사이트�Across the spectrum of callers, the sisters say they바카라 게임 웹사이트�re particularly happy to provide a woman바카라 게임 웹사이트�s touch.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Pope Francis often reminds that the church is a mother,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Mother Micaela said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�And to be this voice, this sensibility, this feminine approach gives a sense of reliability.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Video below: Pope Francis is improving and is no longer in 바카라 게임 웹사이트�imminent danger'About 1,100 women, religious and lay, work at the Vatican. Francis has recently named a few to top posts, even though the priesthood and diaconate 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and thus the majority of the church hierarchy 바카라 게임 웹사이트� remain exclusively male.The switchboard sisters find pride in both their unseen service and the increasing visibility of women at the Vatican.바카라 게임 웹사이트�For me, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a blessing to be in one community with the pope and serving the universal church,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Sister Anthony said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Knowing there are more responsibilities for women, we feel very empowered.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
