Pope Francis is continuing to recover
well after having abdominal surgery last week and he is likely
to leave Rome's Gemelli hospital within days, the Vatican said
on Wednesday.
"The Holy Father rested well during the night," said Vatican
Press Office Director Matteo Bruni.
"The medical staff reports that the clinical course is
proceeding regularly, without complications, and therefore they
are planning his discharge for the next few days.
"The Holy Father devoted himself to his work activities (in the
morning). "Before lunch, he went to the chapel of his private
suite where he spent time in prayer and received the Eucharist."
The Argentine pontiff's audiences have been suspended until 18
June.
