It was a Sunday of strong emotions that experienced the faithful gathered in St. Peter's Square for the Jubilee of the sick and the world of healthcare 2025. At the end of the Holy Mass, officiated by Archbishop Fisichella, The Pope Francis of Pope Francis was wide between the crowd, with the inseparable oxygen cylinder on the back of the backrest. People were able to touch it, observe it closely: In spite of the many who wanted him deceased or who fantasized about the existence of a impersonator who had taken his place on the balcony of the Gemelli Polyclinic, During the fleeting apparitions during the Ospedalization period.

Bergoglio impersonifies the sick person who does not escape his condition: He publicly shares his fragility in the square to offer strength to those like him and invite them to trust in the love of God who transforms and regenerates everything. Above all, it invites to confide in pain as an aggregating strength that unites and discover gratitude for those who take care of the integrated, be they doctors, nurses, family members, amici, In addition to the salvific value of pain acceptance.

The image of the pope swollen due to the effect of drugs recalls the mind Karol Wojtyla - of which the twentieth anniversary of death appeared – that he did not escape his obligations until the end of his days: And in fact Francesco manages to utter few touching words that warm the square like a breath of spring love.

In this perspective, the performance of Elio and the tense stories inside the Rai program "splendid setting" is shaking a few days ago, in conjunction with the discharge of the Pope from the hospital: The comedian sang a pseudo-satical stornello that should have summarized the history of hospitality, The doubts of the former Corona photographer, The current situation. It was a forcing, At all funny, disrespectful and out of place. The patch put by the presenter - Geppi Cucciari - who attempted to pass the performance for a sign of welcome back to the pontiff: This while the artist signs self -referentiality in congratulating himself.

Any, of no religion in the world, In this historical moment it would be missing from George Bergoglio: It is the Pope of social inclusion, of interreligious dialogue, of simplification and simplicity, as well as the rigor, the admission of the faults of the religious and the repair; in the wake traced both by Wojtyla and Ratzinger.

In any case, the appreciation for the pope's gesture were not lacking: The web is invaded by thanksgiving and praise messages for its example and encouragement.
