بابا ليون يتعافى من جراحة سرطان الرئة روما

اجتمع المرضى والمتمنين في مستشفى Policlinico A. Gemelli في روما يوم الأربعاء للصلاة من أجل البابا ليون الرابع، الذي يتعافى من جراحة لاستئصال ورم خبيء من الرئة اليمنى. البابا السابع والسبعون، الذي انتخب في مايو 2025 ليكون البابا الأول الأمريكي، من المتوقع أن يبقى hospitalized لمدة أسبوع. خارج المستشفى، votive candles, prayer cards, and a statue of Pope John Paul II were adorned with offerings, including a miniature orchid and a plaster cherub. Fernando Ibarra Mendoza, 41, read a prayer for healing while her daughter drew a card for the pope with pink highlighters, saying, “Pope Leo needs our prayer, and the church, and the world, needs Pope Leo.” Mariana Nicula Ancuta, 48, praised the hospital after her own breast cancer treatment, saying she knew the pope was “in the right hands, in the best hands in the world.” Simona Zanfrilli, 45, who had just completed chemotherapy, hoped the pope would not endure the same devastating treatment and felt a sense of solidarity, noting she was on the same floor as the Holy Father during her session.

Giuseppe Antonio Perazzo, 76, reflected that it was “much too soon to re-elect a new Holy Father” and said he was praying for the pope’s recovery, recalling that Pope Francis had also been treated at Gemelli before his death.
