Pope Francis has thanked church volunteers for the “miracle of tenderness” they offer the sick, as he continued his recovery from double pneumonia and doctors reported positive news.
After more than three weeks in the hospital, the 88-year-old Pope is responding well to treatment and has shown a “gradual, slight improvement” in recent days.
