Pope appears before crowd in St Peter's Square, 2 weeks after his release from hospital
Vatican City (AP): Pope Francis was rolled into St Peter's Square in a wheelchair during a special Jubilee Mass for the sick, marking his first public appearance at the Vatican on Sunday since his release from the hospital two weeks ago.
The pontiff lifted his hands to wave at the crowd, who stood and applauded, as he was rolled to the front of the altar in the square.
“Good Sunday to everyone,'' the pope told the crowd. “Thank you very much.”
The pontiff's voice sounded stronger than when he addressed well-wishers outside of Gemelli hospital on the day of his release March 23, after battling life-threatening pneumonia during a five-week hospital stay.

Uttar Pradesh: Couple held for killing nephew found in 'objectionable condition' with girl
Bahraich (UP) (PTI): The police here have arrested a man and his wife for allegedly strangling their 22-year-old visiting nephew to death after finding him in an "objectionable condition" with a girl from their family, officials said on Friday.
The body of Bhanu Pratap alias Sudhir was found on March 29 near a school outside Dharmanpur village in a sack with a rope tied around his neck.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Rural) Durga Prasad Tiwari told reporters Friday that Bhanu, a resident of Aurahi village in the district, was visiting his maternal uncle, Chetram Gautam, in Dharmanpur when the alleged incident happened.
Bhanu's father has accused Chetram and his family of the alleged murder, the ASP said.
Tiwari said that police investigation, which involved analysing CCTV footage, mobile records, call details, witness statements, and circumstantial evidence, pointed to Chetram and his wife, Sundari Devi, as the perpetrators.
"The couple allegedly took this step after finding Bhanu in an 'objectionable condition' with a young girl from their family," the officer stated.
"During interrogation, the accused (couple) confessed to the crime, admitting they stuffed Bhanu's body in a sack, tied a rope around his neck to mislead investigators, and disposed it off near a government school. They carried the body on a motorcycle," the officer added.
ASP Tiwari said a post-mortem examination was conducted.
The police conducted a thorough investigation and arrested the couple on Thursday, subsequently sending them to jail.
