After a three-night stay, Pope Francis left the hospital on Saturday.
As he was leaving the hospital, he joked to the crowd of supporters and reporters gathered, "I'm still alive."
He was hospitalized on Wednesday with a respiratory infection, but his condition improved in the days following medical treatment.
This is the busiest time of the year for Pope Francis, as many events and services are planned before the Easter weekend. In addition to Sunday mass, his agenda includes the celebrations of Holy Week and Easter during the coming week.
