The 88-year-old head of the Catholic Church left Rome's Gemelli hospital last Sunday after five weeks of treatment, returning to the Vatican for what his doctors said would be at least two months of convalescence.
“Dearest friends, let us live this Lent as a time of healing,“ he wrote, referring to the period before Easter, the holiest period in the Christian calendar, celebrated this year on April 20.
He added: “Frailty and illness are experiences we all have in common; all the more, however, we are brothers in the salvation Christ has given us.”
Doctors said Francis almost died twice during his hospitalisation, the longest and most fraught of his 12 years as head of the Church.
He said he was following “with concern” the situation in South Sudan, where there has been heightened confrontation in recent weeks between the rival factions which fought each other in the 2013-2018 civil war.
Francis also urged new negotiations as soon as possible in war-torn Sudan.
He described a recent border agreement between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan -- seen as key for the stability of Central Asia -- as an “excellent diplomatic achievement”.
