When asked if we could expect other such surprises in the coming days, Dr. Sergio Alfieri responded: “I do not rule out that the Holy Father will give us other surprises. We know him.”

Pope Francis arrived in a wheelchair at the end of the Mass for the Jubilee of the Sick and Health Care Workers, sparking joyous shouts of “Viva il Papa!” from the more than 20,000 present.

Since Francis’ hospitalization on Feb. 14, the Vatican has issued a written message from him every Sunday, but there is a possibility that on April 6, he may appear “in a different way.”

Pope Francis is “in good humor” and “receives much affection” from people worldwide, the Vatican spokesman said on April 1.

Pope Francis shared that he is experiencing “healing,” specifically “in my soul and my body,” as he reaches the eighth day of the minimum two-month period of rest and convalescence prescribed by his doctors.

Pope Francis continues to be in stable condition and has registered improvements in both breathing and speech, the Vatican said on March 28.
