Vatican, 09 July, 2021 / 7:13 pm (ACI Africa).
Pope Francis will lead the Angelus from his hospital room on Sunday as he recovers from intestinal surgery, the Vatican said.
The pope is at Rome’s Gemelli University Hospital this week after undergoing a July 4 operation to remove part of his colon.
His hospital room is on the 10th floor of the sprawling polyclinic in a wing reserved for papal medical emergencies. The pope’s medical suite can be identified from the street by its five large windows covered by white blinds.
It is the same room where John Paul II stayed during many of his hospital treatments, including for a colon surgery in 1992 and his hospitalization after being shot in an assassination attempt in 1981.
John Paul II famously delivered his Sunday Angelus address from the hospital window.
