CNA Newsroom, Mar 23, 2025 / 07:04 am (CNA).

Shortly before his expected release on Sunday, Pope Francis spoke about his long period of hospitalization during his Angelus address.

The moment marked his first public engagement in weeks.

The pontiff, scheduled to be discharged from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on March 23, prepared a written message published by the Vatican while briefly appearing at approximately noon to greet the faithful and impart his blessing.

“During this long period of hospitalization, I have had the opportunity to experience the patience of the Lord, which I also see reflected in the tireless care of doctors and healthcare workers, as well as in the attentiveness and hopes of the patients’ families,” Francis noted.

“This confident patience, anchored in God’s love that never fails, is truly necessary for our lives, especially to face the most difficult and painful situations.”

During his address, the pope reflected on this Third Sunday of Lent’s Gospel reading about the barren fig tree, drawing parallels between the patient farmer in the parable and God’s merciful approach to humanity.

On the situation in Gaza, the pope called for a ceasefire and “that weapons be silenced immediately; and that there be the courage to resume dialogue, so that all hostages may be freed and a definitive ceasefire reached.”

Francis emphasized that the humanitarian situation in Gaza “is once again extremely serious and requires the urgent commitment of the warring parties and the international community.”

On a more positive note, the Holy Father expressed satisfaction with diplomatic progress in the Caucasus region.

“I am pleased, however, that Armenia and Azerbaijan have agreed on the final text of the Peace Agreement,” he said.

“I hope that it will be signed as soon as possible and can thus contribute to establishing a lasting peace in the South Caucasus.”

Convalescing in Casa Santa Marta

The Vatican announced on Saturday that the pontiff would be discharged from Gemelli Hospital on Sunday, following more than a month of treatment. Hospital officials indicated he will continue convalescing at his apartment in Casa Santa Marta for at least two months and will require ongoing oxygen therapy during his convalescence.

Doctors said at a Saturday press conference that Francis would undergo a “protected discharge” and would “still have to carry out” treatment “for a long time.”

    ["WHO is this man, a creation of whom with the given name: Bergoglio? A Person, persona, lat.: Mask;Actor, a JESUIT-BROTHER, and serving NOT God and following NOT the God given Commandments, taught by Jeshua ben Joseph, called Jesus Christ and other names. No, in his function of TITLE-THING-PAPAM, he is following the Rules of the Black Nobility and the masons families behind the Club du Rome, with their BLACK POPE in cooperation with the jiddish satanic-zionistic Chabad Lubavitch Clan under the Ashkenazis, worshipping Satan and the Wicked of Babylon. This Employee of the City of Rome Corp.in the House of Dea Vatica, fem.God of the Underground, is worshipping as well SATAN-El Baal Isis, The Baphomet and loves the COBRA and following Zion, and led the believers sing, "Daughter of Zion" and making big Businesses with our God-given-names, “John Doe, DOE”, by the claim to own our families, through the private commercial CONTRACT: called The Birth-Certificate which is a BOND, yeap, the real meaning of “The Mother Delivers The Baby” The Wicked of Babylon says Thanks4theBusiness, now we own ya, “Mr.John and Mrs.Joann, Doe, DOE” and other writing forms, via the Roman Cannon Laws and the Trust law.

    ii) [“..Since the Roman Empire and the infiltration of the Roman Church by the Freemasons, slaves were then turned into natural persons, JURISTIC. PERSONS, who were created as commodities, as capital values. Off to the double-entry bookkeeping, the black cross, because we are their ASSETS stored there in the treasure chests = ACCOUNTS, in the Dep. of the Treasury and via the ‘Cestui que vice act’, then via the ‘Capital-Loss-at-Sea act’ (1666) the rulers can plunder them, because we are their CREDITORS and they are all our DEBTORS, who can then cancel their debts because the CREDITOR is no longer alive. This happens continuously. Be it via natural circumstances or today’s business practice through plandemically created disasters, ( EMERGENCIES-ACT) operated with false flags, plundered, because we are their CREDITORS and they are all our DEBTORS, who can thus pay off their debts to us, and all under the eye of the Roman Catholic Church, for ages and three days by their existence, which operate false faith businesses not under the 10 commandments. And the CHURCH SHIPS also survive their COSTS. The priv.com CREDIT BUSINESS about the person, PERSON, does not serve humanity, because people do not come on these COMMERCIAL SHIPS of the high seas, BANK-CHURCH-COURTS, maritime commercial law, and land in the hands of the lordships of land trade law. We have been redefined as sheep in their pasture no. 23, where a LORD ‘our’ , and we have to eat out of his hand and…

    iii)[“.. WHAT does this recurring number tell us? 23 and here even 33?? Who not only believes in the true own God and his teaching creatures and their teachings, but as a righteous, honourable and honest being, called a human, adheres to the commandments of life, does not need FAITH in a LORD or LADY in fancy costumes and borrowed titles and performer names, like PRESIDENT, CHANCELLOR, JUDGE, PAPAM a.s.o, They NEVER lead us into a free and sovereign life, because that is not in their business and omnipotence interest, it never was, because if it had been so, there would never have been all the WORLD WARS – wars of conquest, planned GENOCIDE in their name and on their behalf, because without us slave servants and thus SERVICES as employed personnel, whether directly or indirectly of all kinds for them, they would never have been and would never be so miserably mired in luxury in their castles, palaces, basilicas and mansions, throwing our wealth around in the world trade wars in order to make CAPITAL from it, at our expense and lives. Because without us, whether living or wealthy, they would be naked and bare and no one would pay them such attention and respect and pleasure and, as the only believers, would also finance this through CREDITS, which they never intended and intend to repay to us. That has always been their business practice BECAUSE we BELIEVE in them and worship and beg save us, as they are now once again droning on in fine words into the microphones,…

    iv)[“.. His words in relation to GAZA et al. are pure deception deals( nasa:hebrew: to deceive) to keep himself popular, because he has kept his mouth shut from the beginning and has not stopped the management of the Yisrael Corporation under the Ashkenazi Mileikovsky, alias Netanyahu, from violating the commandments of God, “Thou shalt not kill” a.s.o. through installed False flag Operations, by Corporations, who had to play “Hamas” here with “12oo abductees” to further the extermination of Christian pagan Palestine, to take over their land, which has been going on for how many centuries under the toleration of the Roman Church? ? So, Germania esse delendam, on their ongoing plandemic Depopulation Plan and Agendas with his OK. His judgement awaits him already, like many other ‘CAPITAL CRIMINALS’ and ‘genocides’ So be it..Qui bono....

He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will announce to you the things still to come. He will glorify me because he will receive what is mine and will announce it to you.’ (John 16:12-14)”
