ROME — 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 the prayers for his recovery and calling health care for all a “precious” good.
Noon is when traditionally he would have appeared from a window at the Vatican overlooking St. Peter’s Square to recite the Angelus, or prayer. Exactly a week earlier, in his noon remarks he had given no hint that in a few hours he would be having surgery. Standing on the balcony with him were some children who are also hospitalized at Gemelli, a major Catholic teaching hospital on the outskirts of Rome. The crowd below clapped often.
"We mustn’t lose this precious thing,” the pope said. He added that “sometimes it happens in the church that some health care institution, because of poor management, doesn't go well economically, and the first thought that comes to our mind is to sell it,” he said. "But the vocation in the church is not to have money, it's to give service.''
