Pope Francis will be discharged from the hospital on Sunday, but he must continue the therapies and observe “a period of rest and convalescence for at least two months,” his doctors said.
“I can say that it has certainly been a very hard time for him, this month, for him who loves to give himself entirely, to be there in the hospital bed without being able to help others,” Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández said.
Today, March 19, was a positive day for Pope Francis according to the latest medical report from his doctors in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, which the Vatican released at 7 p.m. this evening.
“Human fragility has the power to make us more lucid about what endures and what passes, what brings life and what kills,” Pope Francis wrote in a letter to the editor in chief of Corriere della Sera.
