During his stay in the hospital, the Pope has received cards and pictures wishing him a speedy recovery from children receiving treatment for cancer.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said 86-year-old Pope Francis continues to make a normal recovery eight days after he underwent a three-hour surgery to repair an incisional hernia on June 7.

During his last full day of hospitalization on June 15, Pope Francis visited the pediatric oncology ward of Gemelli Hospital, which is next to his own hospital suite.

Pope Francis “touched the pain of these children who carry the suffering of the cross on their shoulders every day, together with their mothers and fathers,” Bruni said.

Francis gave everyone a rosary and a book.

Was nice that the Pope reciprocated their thoughtfulness and love with a visit to the sick children.
Gestures like that can mean alot to families suffering with cancer.
The children may grow up remembering this visit in a special way.
