Pope Francis joked ‘I’m still alive’ as he cheerfully left hospital this morning following a three-night stay to treat bronchitis.
The 86-year-old pontiff has finally been discharged from the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome where he was admitted after experiencing breathing difficulties on Wednesday.
Before leaving, Francis stopped to say hello to well-wishers and smiled at the crowd, joking ‘I’m still alive’ when asked how he felt.
He was also seen to hug a woman in despair after her daughter had died just last night, according to the Vatican.
Then, as the crowds clapped, Francis headed off in the front seat of a white Fiat 500, ready to begin preparations for Holy Week and Easter – the most important week in the Christian calendar.(Courtesy: Daily Mail)/SHARE THIS
