Part 2/5:
The Pope's first post on February 23rd expressed appreciation for the outpouring of affection he has received during his hospitalization. He specifically mentioned being touched by letters and drawings sent from children, saying, “Thank you for your closeness and for the consoling prayers I have received from all over the world.” This message highlights the Pope's deep connection with people, particularly the youth, and the importance he places on the support he receives from them during this difficult time.
