Pope Francis was discharged Saturday from the hospital where he was treated for bronchitis, quipping to journalists that he’s “still alive” before being whisked away to the Vatican.

Francis, 86, was hospitalized at Gemelli Polyclinic on Wednesday following his weekly public audience in St. Peter’s Square after reportedly experiencing breathing difficulties. The pontiff received antibiotics administered intravenously during his stay, the Vatican said.

In a sign of his improved health, the Vatican said he would preside at this weekend’s Palm Sunday mass and at Easter Mass on April 9, both held at St. Peter’s Square and expected to draw tens of thousands of faithful. A Vatican cardinal will be at the altar to celebrate both Masses, a recent practice due to the pontiff having a troublesome knee issue.

Francis spent 10 days at the same hospital in July 2021 following intestinal surgery for a bowel narrowing. As a young man in his native Argentina, Francis had part of a lung removed, leaving him particularly vulnerable to respiratory illness.
