How does Jesus heal? God’s healings explained by Pope Leo with the biblical character of Bartimaeus

Pope’s General Audience, June 11, 2025 on Jesus’ healings

How Rome transformed the death of a pope and the election of a new pope into an economic engine worth millions of euros

The spending patterns followed predictably religious rhythms: modest daily budgets, but massive collective impact. With an average daily spend of 120 euros per person—including accommodation, meals, transport, souvenirs, and miscellaneous donations—Rome’s economy surged. Hotels and short-term rentals brought in between 114 and 144 million euros. Restaurants saw revenues spike by as much as 40%, with estimates of 45.6 to 57.6 million euros in dining-related income
