Pope Francis appeared publicly for the first time in over five weeks, following his recovery from pneumonia. Addressing a crowd outside Gemelli hospital in Rome, he expressed gratitude and shared insights on patience through personal experiences. The pontiff, aged 88, emphasized the importance of prayer for peace and called attention to conflicts worldwide, specifically in Gaza and Ukraine. His health is improving but he will convalesce at Casa Santa Marta for two months, marking a significant moment of hope for his followers.
"I have had the opportunity to experience the Lord's patience, which I also see reflected in the tireless care of the doctors and healthcare workers, as well as in the care and hopes of the relatives of the sick."
"Please, take a moment to pray for an end to wars and for peace, especially in tormented Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
