The Pope is due to leave hospital several days after undergoing surgery for lung cancer, according to the latest update on his recovery.
He is scheduled to return to public view on Sunday, when he will lead the traditional Angelus prayer and give a blessing in St Peter’s Square.
The planned appearance would mark the Pope’s first stated public engagement following the operation. The Angelus is a regular prayer and blessing associated with the pontiff and is traditionally held in St Peter’s Square.
No further details about the surgery or the Pope’s condition were provided in the supplied information. His discharge is expected to take place before Sunday’s scheduled prayer and blessing.
