Pope Leo XIV held his first public engagement since his lung cancer surgery on Sunday, as he recited the Angelus prayer from the window of Vatican’s Apostolic Palace.
After the prayer, he thanked the people who have prayed for him in recent days and said he appreciated the support. He added that he will now gradually return to his commitments as he recovers.
”Now that this delicate phase is behind me, I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers,” Leo said, his voice sounding strong four days after the lower lobe of his right lung was removed.
