Pope Leo XIV to lead Sunday Angelus after hospital discharge
The Holy See Press Office said the Pope left the hospital on Saturday afternoon after undergoing medical assessments, including blood tests and a chest X-ray.
Pope Leo XIV has been discharged from Rome’s Agostino Gemelli Hospital following successful lung surgery earlier in the week, according to a report by Capital FM Kenya. The Holy See Press Office confirmed that the Pope left the hospital on Saturday afternoon after undergoing medical assessments, which included blood tests and a chest X-ray.
These tests confirmed that his condition had improved sufficiently for him to be discharged and continue recovering at the Vatican. In a gesture of gratitude, the Pope thanked the medical team, including Professor Stefano Margaritora, who performed the surgery, as well as the hospital’s management, including Rector Professor Elena Beccalli.
The Pope is scheduled to recite the Angelus at noon on Sunday from the Apostolic Palace, marking his return to public engagements after his hospitalization.
