CWN Editor's Note: A convalescing Pope Francis visited the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major on April 12 and prayed before the beloved sixth-century icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Salus Populi Romani.
Pope Francis customarily visits the basilica before his apostolic journeys; his last such visit was in December, on the eve of his apostolic journey to Ajaccio, Corsica.
