On Sunday, Pope Francis was wheeled out to a second-floor balcony as he greeted a crowd of hundreds. His voice was weak, but he managed to find joy in spotting a woman with yellow flowers, commending her with a positive remark in Italian. The crowd responded enthusiastically with cheers of “Francesco” and “Long live the pope!” before he was taken back inside.
In recent weeks, there had been widespread concern regarding the Pope’s health, especially given that his pneumonia had placed his life in jeopardy on two occasions. His medical team reported a slow recovery following treatment that included drug therapy and oxygen, which helped stabilize his condition. Dr. Sergio Alfieri, head of the medical team caring for the Pope, stated that he has shown progressive improvement over recent days.
The Pope’s appearance has brought hope and encouragement to his followers, who have been anxiously awaiting news of his health.
