Pope Francis paid a surprise visit to children in a cancer ward on Friday, even baptising a baby, as he prepared to leave the hospital where he has been undergoing treatment for three days.
A video published by the Vatican showed him baptising a sleeping baby boy named Miguel Angel, who woke up and cried after Francis sprinkled him with Holy Water from a small silver receptacle. "His Holiness's return home to Santa Marta is expected tomorrow, in the wake of the results of the latest tests this morning," Bruni said on Friday.Amid concerns over the pope's presence at events for Holy Week and Easter, the most important week in the Christian calendar, the Vatican confirmed he would preside over Palm Sunday mass.
In St Peter's Square on Friday, many expressed relief over the pope's improved condition, including Vatican guide Giuseppe, 43, who said the octogenarian pope had probably been "asking too much of himself" of late.
