The Holy See has confirmed that the Pontiff, who will leave Gemelli University Hospital tomorrow, will attend the Palm Sunday celebration in St. Peter's Square.

The Holy Father's admission, which took place Wednesday afternoon after suffering various respiratory difficulties, appears to be shorter than expected.

The report given on Friday morning, March 31, by the director of the Sala Stampa, Mateo Bruni, highlighted the gradual improvement of the Holy Father who had returned to work while still hospitalized.

The Pope's good response to the antibiotic treatment he was given to treat his infectious-based bronchitis has been key to his short hospital stay. The Pope is scheduled to return to Santa Marta in the next few hours after the final check-ups.

It is also foreseeable that, in the following hours, the Holy See will notify the Holy Father's activities in the coming days. His agenda, after his admission, had been cleared until the evolution of his health condition was known.
