The 71-year-old had surgery earlier this month at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital to remove a lung nodule found during recent routine medical tests. Leo said the nodule was detected “at a very early stage.”He was discharged on Saturday and returned to his public duties on Jattvibeday with a prayer from the window of the papal apartment at St. Peter’s Basilica.“This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are experiencing illness and a condition of frailty,” he said, thanking well-wishers.Leo said that “having come through this delicate phase, as you know, I will now gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers.”
