«Desidero ringraziare tutti coloro che in questi giorni hanno pregato per me. Ho sentito davvero il vostro sostegno: grazie! Particolare riconoscenza esprimo ai medici, agli infermieri e a tutto il personale del Policlinico Gemelli», ha detto il Papa.
Il Pontefice ha rassicurato ulteriormente i fedeli: «Riprenderò gradualmente le mie attività con l’aiuto di Dio e le vostre preghiere».
Il Papa ha poi ricordato che «si celebra la 100esima Giornata missionaria mondiale. Pensiamo a quanta storia missionaria in questi 100 anni. Preghiamo perché la Chiesa sia sempre fedele al mandato del Signore risorto: “Andate in tutto il mondo e proclamate il Vangelo a ogni creatura”».

Pope Leo

Pope Leo left the Gemelli hospital earlier than expected after lung surgery, making a public appearance with a greeting to the crowd and a private conversation with a young Ukrainian woman being treated in Italy for cancer. He wanted to send signals to the world, committed to promoting dialogue and humanitarian intervention in Ukraine, and to the Roman Curia, where rumors and barbs were starting to spread. He worked from the hospital receiving urgent dossiers and courtesy visits, while the surgeon Stefano Margaritora reassured him about his health conditions. The Vatican press office had canceled audiences and commitments until October 20, with the first important appointment being the interreligious meeting in Assisi on October 27 and then the November trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. Yesterday he published the list of those admitted to the papal flight, interpreted as a determination to move forward without changes, despite a gaffe by the Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, who had suggested remodulations and then backtracked. Leo followed the protocol that places first the Dean of the Sacred College and then the Vicar of Rome close to the Pope, relaunching this scheme as the imprint of his pontificate.
