The head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV, delivered his traditional Sunday address for the first time since undergoing lung surgery five days ago.
Globalinfo.az reports that the 71-year-old pontiff appeared at the window of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican at 12:00 noon.
Addressing thousands of people gathered in St. Peter’s Square, he delivered his address and the “Angelus” prayer in full, without interruption.
“I am grateful to everyone who prayed for me. I could feel your support,” the Pope said.
He also gave special thanks to the doctors and medical staff at the “Gemelli” hospital, where he was treated after a nodule detected at an early stage was removed from his lung.
