Pope Francis delivers prayer from hospital window in his first public appearance after surgery
CNN
Pope Francis appeared in public on Sunday for the first time since undergoing surgery for colon diverticulitis last week, as he held his weekly Angelus prayer from a hospital window.
"I am happy to be able to keep the Sunday appointment of the Angelus, even here from the Gemelli Polyclinic," the Pope said speaking from a balcony of the Gemelli University Hospital in Rome where he is currently recovering. "In these days of being hospitalized I've experienced once again how important a good health care is, accessible to all, as it is in Italy and in other countries. A health care system that is free, that assures good service accessible to everyone," he said.More Related News
