Exactly after a week the Pope returns to be seen in public with the Angelus prayer.

After last Sunday's surgery and the days of convalescence at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, the Pope looked out on the tenth floor balcony which is adjacent to the apartment where he is hospitalized. 

"Dear brothers and sisters, good morning! I am happy to be able to keep the Sunday appointment of the Angelus, also here at the 'Gemelli' Polyclinic. Thank you all: I have felt very much your closeness and the support of your prayers. Thank you very much! ". These are the first words spoken by Francis. A great applause from the faithful welcomed Pope Francis looking out from a balcony on the tenth floor of the Gemelli polyclinic. His speech was interrupted several times by the shouts "Long live the Pope".

The Pope once again underlines the importance of a "good" health service "accessible to all". "In these days of hospitalization, I have experienced how important a good health service is, accessible to all, as there is in Italy and other countries. A free health service that ensures a good service accessible to all. this precious asset. We must keep it! And for this we must all commit ourselves, because it is useful to all and asks for the contribution of all ". The Pope said this at the Angelus from the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome.

 "Even in the Church it sometimes happens that some health institution for poor management is not doing well economically. The first thought that comes to you is to sell it. But your vocation as a Church is not to have money is to do the service and the service is always free . Don't forget: save free institutions ".
