Pope Francis will be discharged this Sunday, March 23, after 37 days of hospitalization at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome. The 88-year-old Pontiff was admitted due to bilateral pneumonia that required intensive medical care, including oxygen therapy.

According to doctors, his progress has been favorable in recent weeks, allowing his discharge from the hospital to be scheduled. However, he will continue his recovery at Casa Santa Marta, his residence in the Vatican, where he will undergo drug treatment and rehabilitation for at least two months.

Before leaving the hospital, Pope Francis will make his first public appearance since his admission, appearing from the window of the Gemelli Polyclinic to impart the Angelus blessing. This eagerly awaited gesture symbolizes his recovery and his intention to gradually resume his pastoral work.

Despite rumors about a possible resignation due to his health, sources close to the Pope have confirmed that he has no intention of resigning and that, after his recovery, he hopes to resume his responsibilities. He even has a trip to Turkey scheduled for May.

The Catholic community and the entire world are closely following the progress of Pope Francis, whose strength and resilience have been key in this recovery process.
