Stuck in a Roman hospital since Valentine's Day, Pope Francis' health has left Catholics across the globe on edge. But, there's some promising news on the horizon! According to "Vatican News," the Pope's planning his initial public showing since his admission to the hospital.
Thent weekend, the Holy See Press Office dished out the news that the Pope's due to grace the people with his presence from Gemelli Hospital, Rome, this coming Sunday, March 23, around noon. The specifics of his grand entrance haven't been spilled in the official statement, neither is there any word on an early release from the hospital.
A week ago, the Vatican threw some light on Pope Francis' recovery, revealing he's shown marked improvement in his breathing and mobility. He's even been drafting heartfelt messages of gratitude for his faithful followers[1][2]. In a message set for March 22, he expressed his happiness over the support he's received and stated, "Even though I can't be physically present among you, I want to say my deep appreciation for the unity you share with me and among yourselves in the Lord Jesus as the Church."
The Vatican even released an audio message and, shortly after, a photo of a beaming Pope Francis celebrating Mass in the hospital's chapel on the 10th floor. He was admitted with both pneumonias and a multi-organ infection[2].
