Pope Francis made a public appearance at the Vatican audience hall on Wednesday, showcasing improved health as he walked in with a cane for his weekly general audience. The 87-year-old Pontiff delivered his prepared text with a clear voice, marking his first public event since Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square.
During the audience, Francis discussed the virtue of patience and renewed his call for peace, urging an immediate halt to ongoing conflicts. He highlighted a poignant moment involving two fathers present at the audience hall, one Palestinian and the other Israeli, who had both lost their daughters in the Middle East conflict but had forged a deep friendship.
