Pope Francis made a surprise appearance at a Jubilee Mass in St. Peter's Square, his first public Vatican appearance since recovering from pneumonia. He arrived in a wheelchair, waving to the cheering crowd and delivering a short address. His voice was stronger than previously, though he still used supplemental oxygen and his arm movements were limited due to a prior injury. The Pope's unexpected presence deeply moved attendees, who expressed their joy and gratitude. He addressed the importance of caring for the sick and supporting healthcare workers in his homily.
