Please keep the Holy Father in your prayers.
Pope Benedict XVI broke his right wrist in a fall during his vacation in the Italian Alps, officials and the Vatican said Friday.
The ANSA news agency reported the pope was undergoing surgery to reduce the fracture, but the spokesman for the local hospital where he is being treated, could not confirm that.
The pope, 82, fell in his room in a chalet overnight and despite the accident, celebrated Mass and had breakfast before going to the hospital, a Vatican statement said.
Tiziano Trevisan, a spokesman at the Umberto Parini hospital in the nearby town of Aosta, said doctors had taken an X-ray of the pope's right wrist and found a small fracture.

ANSA also said the pope asked to be treated like any other patient and had to wait in the radiology department for his X-ray, then again outside the surgical unit for the treatment room where the fracture was reduced.
