Pope Francis to Rest and Skip Public Prayer Following Surgery
TL;DR
Pope Francis will not pray the Sunday Angelus in public from his hospital room, but will pray in private at noon. His doctors advised him against giving a public address to avoid unnecessary strain to his abdominal muscles. The lead surgeon said the Pope is recovering normally and is well. He underwent a three-hour surgery for an incisional hernia on June 7 and is expected to remain in the hospital through next week. This is his third hospitalization in the past two years.
