the pope is a little under the weather

The Vatican Information Service reports that the Pope cancelled his scheduled events for the day due to “flu-like” symptoms. Please keep him in your prayers that he, and all who suffer from ill health, may be spared from the pain and suffering connected to them.
The last time the Pope cancelled an appointment at the last minute was September 24, 2003 due to intestinal problems, according to Zenit.

The sentence regarding his last cancelled appointment was added from the original version of this post.
