Instagram, @franciscus Breaking News About Pope Francis: The Most Demanded Reappearance
Pope Francis has reappeared in St. Peter's Square and has offered some words to the people present
This Sunday, April 6, 2025, Pope Francis made his first public appearance following his recent convalescence. He appeared greeting the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square during the Jubilee Mass dedicated to the sick.
A Symbolic Presence in St. Peter's Square
Although the Pope did not officiate the Mass, his presence at the outdoor altar of the basilica was an emotional moment for those present. Francis, 88 years old, arrived in a wheelchair with nasal cannulas for oxygen, reflecting the aftermath of his recent bilateral pneumonia. Despite the difficulties, he addressed a few brief words to those present: "Good Sunday to all and thank you."
Pope Francis's Recovery and Current Health Status
The Pope was discharged on March 23, after 38 days of hospitalization due to bilateral pneumonia that led to respiratory and renal complications. During his stay at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, he faced critical moments that put his life at risk. Since his return to the Vatican, he has continued his recovery at Casa Santa Marta, combining medical therapies with limited activities.
Recent reports from the Vatican indicate a slight improvement in his health, especially in breathing, motor skills, and voice use. Blood tests show positive indicators, and the use of oxygen has been progressively reduced. However, his participation in the upcoming Holy Week celebrations is still uncertain.
The Holy See has indicated that it is premature to determine the degree of the Pope's participation in the Holy Week ceremonies. It is expected that official statements will be issued in the coming days, depending on the evolution of his health status.
Message to the Faithful and International Community
During the Jubilee Mass for the Sick, a representative read a message on behalf of the Pope. In it, he expressed his closeness to those suffering from illnesses and thanked everyone for their prayers for his health. This gesture underscores the Pontiff's empathy and commitment to the most vulnerable, even in moments of personal difficulty.
The Vatican, during the Jubilee, had already predicted that this Sunday would be different from the others. It warned that a normal Sunday reading of the Angelus would not take place.
