According to the publication, the Pope who was seen coughing and sneezing, made the announcement at St Peter’s square when he said:

Unfortunately a cold will force me not take part this year (in the retreat). I will follow the meditations from here

I will unite myself spiritually with the (participants) and all people who are living moments of prayer. I will do the spiritual exercises from home
