Pope tells elderly and sick he, too, is old and ailing

Pope Francis on Sunday asked a group of elderly and sick members of Rome’s seaside parish to pray for him because he, too, had grown old and was ailing.
“Pray for me, too, eh,” Francis told the parishioners in a private meeting that was later broadcast by Catholic channel TV2000.
“I’m a little old and a little sick, but not too much,” he said jokingly, drawing cheers and applause from the audience.
The 78-year-old pope later celebrated a Mass at the Ostia parish, a beachfront area of the capital.
