An image of Pope Francis, released by the Vatican on Sunday, shows him at the hospital for the first time since being admitted last month for double pneumonia. The 88-year-old pope participated in the Holy Mass on Sunday morning at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, as confirmed by the Vatican. A Vatican official also reported that his condition remains stable, mentioning that he continued with his therapy, including motor and respiratory physiotherapy. Last week marked the 12th anniversary of Francis’ election as pope, occurring during his hospitalization. Despite facing a complex respiratory infection, which led to double pneumonia, Francis has shown signs of improvement, as seen in the latest medical bulletin confirming positive changes in his chest X-ray. While doctors advise that he needs to remain hospitalized for an unspecified period due to his overall fragility, the pope is making steady progress in his recovery.
