Sister Maria Mucci spent many years serving Pope Francis, as well as numerous Vatican visitors, at the Casa Santa Marta.
Having fallen ill, she is now in the infirmary at her congregation’s house in Rome, the Regina Mundi House.
So, on Sunday evening, Pope Francis popped in for a quick visit to the ailing nun.
He also paused for a picture with members of the Daughters of Charity community staffing the residence, along with employees and guests.
At the end of his visit, the Holy Father gave them all his blessing.
Fr. Tomaž Mavrič, CM, the Order’s Superior General, announced the news on his Facebook page.
