Pope Francis returned to the Vatican’s home on Sunday after more than five weeks at the hospital with pneumonia, he took time before thanked the well -wishers for their support.

Tired and wearing, the 88 -year -old Catholic leader was first seen publicly after entering a crowd outside the Gameli Hospital in Rome, from Balkoni, for the first time.

“Thank you, everyone,” a weak voice, Francis, said in a microphone, sitting on a wheelchair, when hundreds of pilgrims shouted his name.

He raised his hand from his lap, occasionally making a thumb mark, and when he noted, laughing, “I can see this woman with yellow flowers, well.”

Francis, who had bags under his eyes, was in the balcony for two minutes before he finished the hospital.

Argentina was wearing a canal by a Pontuff car – a plastic tube collided with its defects that provide oxygen – indicating its continuous health delicacy.

His doctor said on Saturday that he would need “at least two months” at his home at the Santa Martha Guest House in the Vatican.

‘Happiness’

The pilgrims gathered outside Jameli on Sunday, where they were treated in a special suit on the 10th floor, and they were happy to see it personally.

Larry James Click, a bishop, a bishop in the US state of Pennsylvania, told AFP, “His appearance” is just full of me and I think so many people who are here with a sense of happiness. “

“It was just an amazing opportunity to see him and I think he responded a lot to people’s prayers and all the slogans,” he said.

“I hope he raised his souls, I think it has happened.”

Catholic Dominico Papiska Marra, 69, from South Italy’s Regio Clabriya, added: “I’m really happy that I am happy to see her … I really love Pope Francis.”

The pope was fired at a white fiancé 500L, initially heading towards Rome Church, Santa Maria Maggiever, where he stops praying before and after the trips.

There, he left a bouquet of yellow roses on the ultra, which he saw from the balcony of his hospital, which he was given by 72 -year -old Khair Karmela Mankoso.

“I hope it will improve soon and will come back to us as before,” said Vatican News.

After that, Francis was seen returning to the Vatican.

Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, who visited Pontuff at the hospital, was “happy” on his return home, expressing his “love and love and thanks for his” tireless commitment and his valuable guidance “.

‘The period of rest’

The Pope had the fourth and longest hospital stay in 2013 after becoming the head of the world’s approximately 1.4 billion Catholic.

His doctors emphasized that Francis, who had removed a part of a lung as a young man, had faced “very critical” moments twice in the last month, which made his life in danger, his doctors emphasized that he was conscious.

Despite the Vatican issuing bulletin twice daily for his stay in his hospital, the absence of a Pope’s public theory created speculation that he may have died.

The Vatican released the Pope’s audio recording March 6, in which he began to weaken and breathe a lot.

Francis will need physiotherapy to recover his voice, one of his doctor, Sergio Alfiri, told reporters on Saturday.

“When you face bilateral pneumonia, your lungs are damaged and your respiratory muscles are also pressed,” he said.

Easter doubts

Francis continued to work in the hospital when possible, but his medical team has made it clear that he will not kiss the crowd or children soon.

“There will be more progress in his home, because a hospital – even if it seems strange – is the worst place to recover, because it is a place where you can contract more infections,” said Alfiri.

He said, “During the period of the period, they will not be able to cope with their usual daily appointments.”

It is not expected that such restrictions will be easily tolerated by the Jesus Pope, who had previously performed a filled schedule and had a clear pleasure to talk with his flock.

The questions remain, who can guide the busy schedule of religious events going to Easter, the most enthusiastic era of Christian piety.

The growing critical condition of Francis’s health has promoted speculation as to whether he can choose to retire from his position and make a way for a successor, as he was predicted by XVI.

Asked about it by reporters on Monday, the Vatican Secretary for Foreign Affairs Petro Pirulin replied: “No, no, no, not at all.”
