For the first time after the operation, Pope Francis addressed the faithful with a sermon on Sunday from the window of the Vatican Apostolic Palace. RIA Novosti writes about it.
The pontiff also said the traditional midday prayer “ Angel of the Lord. & # 39; & # 39;
Many believers who filled St. Peter's Square on this day greeted the appearance of the Pope with cheerful applause.
It is also reported that Francis has already started his usual work. He made a number of appointments, and also signed the Apostolic Letter Traditionis Custodes, which radically changes the rules for using the Latin rite of the Roman Missal in the Catholic Church – a liturgical book establishing the unfolding of Mass.
Recall that the 84-year-old pontiff was hospitalized for an operation of the intestines. On July 5, it was reported that he had endured it well. It was also noted that Francis's condition is assessed as stable. The Primate of the Catholic Church spent 10 days in the hospital.
Pope Francis first appeared in public after undergoing surgery on July 11. Then he delivered the traditional Sunday sermon from the 11th floor window of the Roman hospital named Agostino Gemelli. Francis thanked the medical and hospital staff and called for prayer for all patients, especially those in serious condition.
