Pope Leo appeared in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday for his first public engagement since undergoing surgery for lung cancer five days prior. During the event, the 71-year-old pontiff announced his intention to gradually resume his regular duties as the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics.

The operation, which took place last Tuesday, involved the removal of the lower lobe of the Pope's lung. His appearance in the square marks the beginning of his recovery process and his return to official responsibilities following the medical procedure.
