Ecumenical greetings came from Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury, the primary leader of the Anglican Communion, tweeting, "Happy birthday to my friend and dear brother in Christ, Pope Francis. Thank you for your joyful and humble leadership that bears witness to the love of Jesus Christ."
The Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, said the Pope spent a quiet and simple day in prayer, sharing his meals as he always does with other residents at the Casa Santa Marta.
Bruni also said that through the papal almoner, the poor of the city of Rome have sent sunflowers to adorn the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament at Casa Santa Marta, “as a reminder of the need to always turn our gaze towards the Lord who is present in the weakest.”
He added that today the Pope sent a gift of four respirators to Venezuela in a sign of closeness to children with lung diseases.
