Two weeks after undergoing an operation to remove half of his colon, Pope Francis delivered his Sunday blessings to a crowd of several hundred gathered in St. Peter s Square.
After ruminating on the importance of rest it is not enough to unplug ourselves he said, we need to truly rest Francis turned to the turmoil and social unrest engulfing many parts of the world.
He expressed his concern for the Europeans hit by catastrophic flooding, which has killed over 180 people in Western Europe. May the Lord welcome the deceased and comfort their loved ones, may he sustain the efforts of everyone who are helping those who have suffered serious damage, the pope said, according to a translation provided by the Vatican.
