Pope Francis, who was away from the public’s eyes for a serious case of pneumonia, surprised all the surprises when he made his first and improvised appearance on Vatican Square.
Pope Francis was sitting on a wheelchair with an oxygen tube in the nose and seeing greet his followers when he was through St. Peter’s Square. During his surprising performance he also talked to several.
“Good Sunday to everyone. Thank you very much,” said the 88 -year -old Pope for a mass dedicated to the sick. While his voice felt tense, but better than the time he left the hospital in March. His last public performance was February 14.
While Pope Francis is to go through recovery for two months, his appearance in public was an encouraging signal for his health just before Easter.
“He is doing better, it is clear and wants it to be seen. It is not good enough to deliver the message, but well enough to make a gesture … and showed up,” AFP quoted.

After the mass, the Pope greeted some of those who helped in duty, many who bowed to kiss their hands. He stepped out of the square over the holy door.
For the Mass dedicated to the patients, Pope Francis also took his social media designer on X and said: “Dear doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals, because you take care of your patients, the Lord constantly offers you the opportunity to restore his lives, mercy and hope.”
In the next post he added: “I have a lot in common with you at this time, dear brothers and sisters who are ill: experience with illness, weakness, have to depend on others for so many things and need their support.”
