The Holy See Press Office releases Pope Francis’ Angelus address as he continues his recovery at Gemelli Hospital. In his message, the Pope expresses gratitude for prayers and medical care whilst urging continued prayers for peace.
Reflecting on the day’s Gospel reading, he emphasises the importance of seeing others with charity and of always speaking with goodness.
In an Angelus address prepared by Pope Francis while he continues his treatment in hospital, and published by the Holy See Press Office, the Pope thanked the faithful for their closeness in his moment of “frailty” and urged them to continue praying for peace in the world, just as they pray for him.
“From here, war appears even more absurd,” he said, calling in particular for prayers for “tormented Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan, and Kivu.”
