In the Vatican, it is unclear whether Pope Francis will participate in the Holy Week and Easter celebrations in Rome. According to Vatican sources, such decisions are made daily during his recovery. The convalescence period of the Pontiff remains "delicate".

The Vatican stated that Pope Francis received his most important staff member for a work meeting on Monday for the first time since his discharge from the hospital. He discussed current matters with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin. No further official meetings took place. Additionally, Pope Francis continues to receive documents on significant matters and makes decisions.

Pope Francis unexpectedly at St. Peter's Square over the weekend

The 88-year-old church leader was treated for a life-threatening respiratory illness at the Roman Gemelli Clinic from February 14 to March 23. Since his discharge, he has been spending a largely secluded two-month convalescence phase in his apartment at the Vatican guesthouse Santa Marta, as ordered by doctors. On Sunday, he unexpectedly appeared for a few minutes sitting in a wheelchair and equipped with oxygen cannulas at St. Peter's Square and blessed the faithful.
