CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis did not deliver his prepared homily at a February 9 Mass for the armed forces, handing his text to an aide to be read aloud, as he explained that he is still having breathing difficulties.

The Pope’s public appearance on Sunday—as usual, presiding at the Mass but not acting as principal celebrant—was his first public appearance since the Vatican announced last Friday that he would be holding audiences and meetings in his residence for the next few days because of a bout with bronchitis.

Pope Francis continued to hold his scheduled appointments on February 10.
