Pope Leo XIV held his first public engagement on Sunday since his lung cancer surgery, reciting the Angelus prayer from the window of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.
The surgery had taken place just a few days before, after Pope Leo had been diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer. After the prayer, he thanked the people who have prayed for him in recent days and said he appreciated the support. He added he will now gradually return to his commitments as he recovers.
