Breaking: First photos of #PopeLeoXIV post-surgery as he celebrated Mass at 12pm at Rome's Gemelli Hospital with off-duty medical and nursing staff, as well as members of the Vatican Gendarmerie.
"In his homily, the Pope thanked all the staff—doctors, nurses, and orderlies—for the work they do every day caring for the sick and their frailties, and especially for what they have done and continue to do for him," the Vatican said.

Pope Leo XIV’s recovery from lung surgery is progressing normally, the Vatican said Thursday. Routine tests were normal, and a chest X-ray showed the operated lung is recovering well. The pope carried out daily activities independently and completed physical therapy exercises – at Vatican City

As we process the news about Pope Leo I am thinking a lot about a letter he wrote to two friends in 1984. He writes about his mom's fight with cancer.
"My mother continues to undergo chemotherapy. She's a tough lady and handles is all well."
He signs it "Love, Bob"
