A convalescing Pope Francis, recovering from pneumonia, greeted crowds in St. Peter's Square on Palm Sunday. The 88-year-old pontiff, appearing in a wheelchair without nasal tubes, offered a brief blessing and expressed gratitude for prayers. He also met with King Charles III and Queen Camilla this week. While still recovering and avoiding large crowds, the Pope's appearances signal a positive recovery. A homily, read by Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, urged the faithful to reflect on suffering during Holy Week.
