Pope Francis was photographed at the hospital for the first time since he was admitted last month for double pneumonia.
The 88-year-old pope concelebrated the Holy Mass Sunday morning in the chapel of Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, the Vatican stated, sharing the first image of the pope since his hospitalization.
A Vatican official also confirmed on Sunday that his condition remains stable.
“Throughout the day, he continued his therapy, including motor and respiratory physiotherapy. He has particularly benefited from motor physiotherapy,” the official said in a briefing. “During the day, he was able to work a little, and in the coming days we will see the results of his work.”
Last week, Francis surpassed four weeks of hospitalization just after marking the 12th anniversary of his election as the 266th pope.
