Pope Francis is expected to bring joy to Catholics around the world during Easter celebrations

[Augusta]

Pope Francis is expected to bring joy to Catholics around the world during Easter celebrations at the Vatican on Sunday, just weeks after a severe bout of pneumonia left him hospitalized and fighting for his life.
The 88-year-old pontiff has been recovering since being discharged from hospital on March 23, following a 38-day stay during which he received intensive treatment.
Despite lingering weakness in his voice, Pope Francis is expected to deliver the traditional “Urbi et Orbi” benediction from the balcony overlooking Saint Peter’s Square at midday (1000 GMT) — a highlight of Easter Sunday and the most significant celebration on the Christian calendar.

Well, he brought peace and tranquility before he passed. May his soul and that of all the departed rest in peace!
