The Holy See Press Office has released the first photo of Pope Francis since he was admitted to the Gemelli hospital in Rome on February 14.
The Pontiff is pictured from the side, in a wheelchair, looking toward the altar. The Holy See Press Office also reports that Bergoglio concelebrated Holy Mass in the chapel of his tenth-floor apartment at the Gemelli Hospital, and that his condition remains "stable."
The Pope, three-quarters, sitting in a wheelchair and without nosepieces for oxygen, in the chapel next to his room on the tenth floor of the hospital. A shot to silence the fake news that immediately circulated.

The image of the Pope is very touching and makes us think about how important his presence is even in a difficult moment. The news of a stable condition is reassuring, we hope he continues to improve over time.
