Over 1,880 clergy renewed ordination vows at the Vatican's Holy Thursday Chrism Mass. Pope Francis, convalescing, delegated Cardinal Calcagno to preside and deliver his homily. The Mass included the blessing of holy oils for the coming year and emphasized the importance of priestly ministry in light of Jesus' teachings. Pope Francis also announced that other cardinals would lead other Holy Week services due to his continued recovery.
