Pope Francis made his first public appearance since hospitalization due to bronchitis, seen in a wheelchair at Rome's Gemelli Hospital chapel. Although he has communicated via audio messages, this marks the first sighting since Feb. 14. During his hospital stay, he experienced complications, including a polymicrobial infection and double pneumonia. His condition is stable, with positive responses to treatment. In his Angelus prayer, Francis spoke about overcoming trials with love and faith, reaffirming hope despite physical weaknesses.
In his weekly Angelus prayer released by the Vatican on Sunday, Francis reflected on the 'period of trial' he and others have faced while sick.
The pontiff was seen seated in a wheelchair in the private chapel of Rome's Gemelli Hospital, wearing a white cassock and purple stole.
