The Vatican has released the first photo of Pope Francis since he entered Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Feb. 14.
“This morning, Pope Francis concelebrated Holy Mass in the chapel of the 10th-floor apartment at the Gemelli Polyclinic,” according to a statement from the Vatican Press Office.
In the photo, the Holy Father can be seen seated before the altar of the chapel where he concelebrated the Eucharist in what is the first image of the pontiff since he was admitted to the hospital, first suffering from bronchitis and then pneumonia.
The Vatican also reported that “the pope’s condition remains stable” and after concelebrating Sunday Mass, “he is continuing with the prescribed therapies” including respiratory and physical therapy.
Pope Francis did not receive any visitors Sunday, instead dedicating the day to “prayer, rest, and some work.”
The Holy See Press Office further indicated that tomorrow, Monday, “there will also be no medical bulletin. The press office will provide some general information to journalists in the afternoon.”
