Pope Francis on Sunday made his first public appearance since major intestinal surgery last week, greeting well-wishers as he stood for 10 minutes on a hospital balcony, offering hearty thanks for all the prayers for his recovery and calling health care for all a "precious" good.
That is the hour when traditionally he would have appeared from a window at the Vatican overlooking St. Peter's Square. Exactly a week earlier, in his noon remarks he had given no hint that in a few hours he would have entered the hospital for surgery that same night. Reading from prepared remarks, he kept one or both hands on a lectern for support, including when he raised an arm in blessing.
"We mustn't lose this precious thing," the pope said, adding his appreciation and encouragement for all the health care workers and personnel at hospitals.
