After three nights in Rome’s Gemelli hospital for bronchitis, Pope Francis was discharged on Saturday.

I am still alive,” he said to the press, laughing, when questioned about his state of health as he left.

Despite his condition, this Friday Francis took the time to visit the children of Pediatric Oncology and Children’s Neurosurgery and baptized a baby named Michelangelo.

The Vatican informed that the Supreme Pontiff will preside the Palm Sunday mass this Sunday, although it will be officiated by Cardinal Leonardo Sandri.
