## Pope Francis Discharged from Hospital, Set to Resume Public Duties After Lung Surgery
**VATICAN CITY** – Pope Francis has been discharged from hospital just days after undergoing surgery for lung cancer, with the Vatican announcing his swift recovery and confirming his readiness to lead the traditional Angelus prayer this Sunday in St Peter’s Square.
The pontiff, 86, left the medical facility in Rome earlier today, following what doctors have described as a successful operation earlier this week. The procedure addressed a pulmonary condition related to lung cancer, with medical staff reporting a strong prognosis for the Holy Father. His remarkably quick return to public life underscores his resilience and determination to resume his pastoral responsibilities.
His scheduled appearance for the Angelus prayer this Sunday will mark his first significant public engagement since the surgery. Millions of faithful worldwide are expected to follow the event, eager to witness the Pope’s recovery and hear his blessing. The Vatican has consistently provided updates on his progress, reassuring the global Catholic community about his improving health and continued leadership.
The prompt discharge and immediate plans to resume key duties signal a robust recovery for Pope Francis, allowing him to quickly return to the helm of the Catholic Church.
