"Pope Francis Breaks Tradition, Opts Out of Palm Sunday Homily"

Pope Francis broke tradition by skipping his annual Palm Sunday homily during Mass, citing no explanation for the change. The 87-year-old pontiff, who has been suffering from bronchitis and influenza, continued to preside over the service and read parts of the Mass before delivering the weekly Sunday Angelus message and blessing. He condemned the recent attack near Moscow and asked for prayers for those suffering in Gaza, Ukraine, and other areas of war.
