Pope Francis continues to make
progress in his recovery from colon surgery last Sunday and will
recite the Angelus address from Rome's Gemelli hospital next
Sunday, the Vatican said on Friday.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the Argentine pontiff was
"without fever" after having a slight high temperature for a
spell on Wednesday.
"His Holiness Pope Francis spent a quiet day (on Thursday) with
normal clinical progress," said Bruni.
"He continued to eat regularly and continued his scheduled
treatment.
"He walked in the corridor and resumed his work, alternating it
with moments of reading texts.
"In the afternoon, he celebrated Holy Mass in the chapel of his
private apartment, attended by all those assisting him during
his hospitalisation...
"The Holy Father gives thanks for the many messages of affection
and closeness that he receives daily and asks that we continue
to pray for him".
