"Pope Francis Overcomes Surgery and Continues Vatican Duties"

Pope Francis expresses gratitude for the prayerful support during his hospitalization and encourages the faithful to trust in God's love and perform deeds of love and hope. He reminds believers that God is like a loving father who takes his children by the hand and is with them in their most difficult times. The way to proclaim that God is near is through witness and service, not just words. The Pope invites the faithful to ask themselves whether they believe and confide in God, listen to the Word, and instill courage in others.
