Up until his last remaining days, the Pope was still spreading the love of Christ. It appears he got better just to be able to do all these before he left us

May that little girl have as long a life as Pope Francis.

We're fortunate for modern medicine that brought him back from the brink. The religious lunatics that say it's miraculous need their heads examined!

I am surprised he didn't have is white robe and hat on, His facial does not look the same, he almost looks unrecognizable, but it is so nice to see him out and about visiting people at St. Peter's Basilica, it is really good for his health and well being . Prayers for Him and his recovery
