After a three-week hospitalization, Pope Francis remains a priority. Generally, the pontiff continues to recover after the operation on his abdominal wall that was performed on July 4. According to Vatican Press Secretary Matteo Bruni, Pope Francis is still in the hospital and is likely to stay there for 'a few more days.' In earlier statements, it was said that Pope Francis could return to the Vatican as early as Friday.
In his statements from the hospital window, Pope Francis called for prayers for him and for all the sick. He also expressed gratitude to the medical staff for their work and professionalism, which they provided to him and all patients. Despite his condition, the pontiff continues to work and make decisions, maintaining contact with the office from the hospital. Additionally, it is reported that he is preparing to spend a few days at his church residence in Castel Gandolfo after his discharge from the hospital.
