Pope Francis Hospital Children
Briefly

On Sunday, children gathered at Policlinico A. Gemelli, where Pope Francis is recovering, to fly balloons in his colors, chant slogans, and show support. Despite not seeing the pope, their presence was acknowledged in his Sunday blessing where he expressed his love and gratitude. Organized by Rev. Enzo Fortunato, the gathering highlighted the joy and encouragement children bring, serving as a 'symbolic medicine' during the pope's healing process. Letters and artwork created by these children will await the pope’s attention upon his return to Casa Santa Marta.
