Pope Francis is “in good humor” and “receives much affection” from people worldwide, the Vatican spokesman said on April 1.

A little over a week after returning to the Vatican guesthouse to convalesce, the pope was showing gradual improvements in his movements and speech.

Pope Francis' health has improved 'surprisingly' since returning to the Vatican after surviving a life-threatening bout of pneumonia, his doctor revealed on Saturday

Pope Francis shared that he is experiencing “healing,” specifically “in my soul and my body,” as he reaches the eighth day of the minimum two-month period of rest and convalescence prescribed by his doctors.

According to a statement from Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, the decision to postpone the visit was made by "mutual agreement."

Pope Francis has shown ‘’a truly surprising improvement’’ since returning to the Vatican to convalesce after surviving a life-threatening bout with double-pneumonia, the doctor who coordinated the pontiff’s five-week hospitalization said Saturday.

Since Francis’ hospitalization on Feb. 14, the Vatican has issued a written message from him every Sunday, but there is a possibility that on April 6, he may appear “in a different way.”
