I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days. I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital. This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity. Now that I have overcome this delicate phase I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers.

In an interview with Vatican News, Professor Stefano Margaritora, who operated on Pope Leo XIV on October 13, says the surgery was routine, though he experienced “a deep feeling I cannot describe.” The Pope needs about another ten days to recover fully and “was an ideal patient.”

Pope Leo XIV will be discharged today from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital following surgery on his right lung and will return to the Vatican this afternoon.
Tomorrow, he will lead the Angelus from the window of the Apostolic Palace as he does every Sunday.
We give thanks to God for his recovery and continue to surround the Holy Father with our prayers, asking the Lord to renew his strength and sustain him in his mission of faith, hope, and peace.

Nella giornata odierna, il Santo Padre Leone XIV ha avuto un colloquio telefonico con S.E. il Signor Vladimir Putin, Presidente della Federazione Russa.
This morning, at the Gemelli Hospital, the Holy Father celebrated the Eucharist, a beautiful and moving sign of faith and hope just days after his surgery.
In this time of recovery, may the Lord sustain him with His strength, surround him with His peace, and grant him renewed health. Let us also remember in our prayers the doctors, nurses, and all the medical staff accompanying him on this journey of healing.

Doctors at Gemelli Hospital removed a cancerous tumor from Pope Leo XIV’s right lung, according to the Holy See Press Office. The surgery was successful, with no complications, and the Holy Father has returned to his hospital room.
We ask the faithful to continue praying for Pope Leo’s recovery and for the doctors and staff caring for him. We also hold in prayer all who are living with cancer, their families, and those who care for them.

Official statement from @HolySeePress (my translation from the original Italian):
The Holy Father underwent thoracic surgery as planned.
To ensure that the surgery was radical, the lower lobe of the right lung was removed using a video-assisted surgical technique. The intraoperative histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, as suspected based on the preoperative examinations.
The Holy Father was in the operating room for approximately three hours, while the surgery itself lasted approximately 90 minutes. The operation was successful, and there were no complications.
Following the surgery, the Pope woke up normally and, after a brief period of observation, returned to his room on the 10th floor.
The surgical team was led by Professor Stefano Margaritora, assisted by Professor Elisa Meacci, Dr. Maria Teresa Congedo, and Dr. Leonardo Petracca Caravella.
The anesthesiology team consisted of Professor Massimo Antonelli, Dr. Giovanni Punzo, and Dr. Giuseppe Bello.

Para ayudar a nuestro querido León XIV, propongo tres acciones: 1. Rezar por él; 2. Releer y meditar algunos de sus textos; 3. Seguir las informaciones oficiales, sin dramatismos. Al Papa León lo acompaña el inmenso cariño de los fieles. Que la Madre del Buen Consejo lo proteja

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

La pena de muerte es inadmisible porque atenta contra la inviolabilidad y la dignidad de la persona. El bien común puede protegerse y los requisitos de la justicia pueden salvaguardarse sin recurrir a la pena capital: ya se han desarrollado sistemas penitenciarios eficaces que protegen a los ciudadanos y, al mismo tiempo, no privan por completo a los culpables de la posibilidad de redimirse. #NoDeathPenalty

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty
