The voice of Pope Francis has been heard for the first time since he was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital in an audio message thanking believers for their prayers for his recovery.
The Pope’s message was played aloud in St. Peter’s Square this evening just before 9 p.m., local time in Rome, March 6. It is the first time his voice has been heard publicly in three weeks. In his audio recording, the Pope, speaking in Spanish with a laboured and breathless voice, said:
“I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health from the Square, I accompany you from here.
