教皇利奥十四世于2026年10月18日星期日中午，在梵蒂冈宗座宫俯瞰圣彼得广场的书房窗口出现，在祈祷天使经之后进行传统的正午祝福。这是他出院后的第二天，他在周二接受了肺癌切除手术。
Pope Leo XIV appears at the window of his study in the Apostolic Palace overlooking St. Peter's Square at the Vatican for the traditional noon blessing after praying the Angelus, Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026, a day after he returned from the hospital, where he had lung cancer removed on Tuesday.
亚历山德拉·塔兰蒂诺/美联社 梵蒂冈城 — — 教皇利奥十四世周日在圣彼得广场感谢数千名信众在他住院接受恶性肿瘤切除手术期间的祈祷，并表示他计划逐步恢复日常职责。
Alessandra Tarantino/AP VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV thanked thousands of faithful in St. Peter's Square on Sunday for their prayers while he was hospitalized for an operation to remove a malignant tumor, and said he plans to gradually return to his usual duties.
当教宗出现在俯瞰广场的窗口时，人群爆发出欢呼声。一周前，就在同一场传统天使经祝福的场合，他曾在此透露自己肺部发现了一个结节，并将接受手术切除。
The crowd erupted in cheers when the pontiff showed himself in the window overlooking the square, where a week ago on the same occasion of the traditional Angelus blessing he revealed that a nodule had been located on his lung, and that it would be surgically removed.
“如今这个敏感的阶段已经过去，我将在上帝的帮助和你们的祈祷下逐步恢复活动，”利奥说。他的声音听起来很有力，这已经是他右肺下叶被切除四天后。
''Now that this delicate phase is behind me, I will gradually resume my activities, always with God's help and your prayers," Leo said, his voice sounding strong four days after the lower lobe of his right lung was removed.
教宗表示，过去一周的经历“让我感到自己与那些面临疾病和虚弱的人特别亲近”。他告诉信众，他“真切地感受到了你们的支持”，并对“杰梅利医院的医生、护士和所有工作人员”表达了“特别的感激”，那是他接受治疗的地方。教宗暂停片刻，向人群挥手后退回宗座宫的公寓。
The pontiff said the experience of the last week "has made me feel especially close to those facing illness and infirmity." He told the faithful that he had ''truly felt your support,'' and expressed ''particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff at Gemelli hospital'' where he was treated.

The pope paused for a moment and waved to the crowd before retreating into his apartment in the Apostolic Palace.
“他在生病时一直在我们的祈祷中，今天看到他我们很高兴，”来自刚果民主共和国的阿兰·卡伦布说。“这是我们喜悦的表达。”

这位71岁的教宗在周二接受了右肺下叶的切除手术，这是他自即位17个月以来的首次重大健康事件。手术证实他患有腺癌，这是最常见的肺癌类型。
''He was always in our prayers when he was sick, and we are happy to see him today,″ said Alain Kalembu of the Democratic Republic of Congo. ″This is an expression of our joy.″The 71-year-old pontiff had the lower lobe of his right lung removed on Tuesday in the first major health event of his 17-month pontificate. The surgery confirmed he had adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer.
他用英语告诉一名记者，他感觉“好多了”，在从罗马杰梅利医院驱车返回梵蒂冈的路上，住院时间比最初预期的要短。
He told a reporter in English that he was doing ''much better'' as he drove away from Rome's Gemelli hospital to return to the Vatican, after a shorter hospital stay than had initially been anticipated.
“我不相信，因为他前几天刚做完手术，”来自意大利南部普利亚地区、正在梵蒂冈参观的退休工厂工人科西莫·马斯特罗钦克说。“他已经康复，真是个奇迹。”美国游客尤其渴望与第一位出生于美国的教皇一起祈祷。来自密歇根州的玛拉·马萨拉原本计划上周与教皇一起参加弥撒，但因教皇住院而取消。
"I don't believe it, because he was just operated on the other day," Cosimo Mastrocinque, a retired factory worker visiting the Vatican from the southern region of Puglia, said. "It is a miracle that he recovered already." American tourists were especially eager to pray alongside the first pope born in the United States. Marla Marsala of Michigan was supposed to attend a Mass with the pope last week that was canceled due to his hospitalization.
“我只是很高兴，我们今天是与他一起祈祷，而不是像以前那样为他祈祷，”马萨拉说。“这是一个艰难的星期，对于所有爱他的人来说，而爱他的人很多。他看起来是一个非常坚强的灵魂。所以我认为他会挺过去，战胜它，并成功，继续做他正在做的美好工作。”来自佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的克莱尔·霍兰说，她感到“非常有福气”，能亲临现场见证教皇回到他的教友中间。
''I am just happy that we are praying with him today instead of for him, like we were before,'' Marsala said. "It was a tough week for all of the people who love him, which are many. He seems like a very strong soul. So I think he will pull through and fight it, and succeed and keep doing the wonderful work he is doing.'' Claire Holland from Jacksonville, Florida, said she felt "very blessed" to be present for the pope's return to his flock.
“我非常高兴他康复得这么快。我想有数以百万计、数以百万计的祈祷。他是一个坚强、意志坚定的人，我很高兴他感觉好到足以做这件事，”霍兰说。
"I'm so happy that he has recovered so quickly. I think there have been millions and millions of prayers. And he is a strong, determined man, and I am so happy that he is feeling well enough to do this," Holland said.
利奥下一次重大行程是一次雄心勃勃的11月6日至17日访问乌拉圭、阿根廷和秘鲁的行程，包括十几次航班和两次前往高海拔地区的直升机飞行。他的外科医生斯特法诺·马尔加里托拉博士周六告诉梵蒂冈新闻：“没有临床理由说明这次行程不应进行。”
Leo's next major engagement is an ambitious Nov. 6-17 trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, including a dozen flights and two helicopter rides to high altitudes. His surgeon, Dr. Stefano Margaritora, told Vatican News on Saturday that "there are no clinical reasons why it should not take place."
“教皇在康复中倾注了全部心血，”马尔加里托拉告诉梵蒂冈新闻，并补充说，他预计教皇将在“大约再过10天”完全从手术中恢复。肿瘤及相关淋巴结的组织学检测正在进行中。结果，加上肿瘤的分子和基因构成细节，将帮助医生确定教皇是否需要额外治疗。选择包括化疗、化疗与免疫疗法联合，或基于肿瘤基因特征的靶向口服疗法。
"The Holy Father has put his heart and soul into his recovery," Margaritora told Vatican News, adding that he expected the pope to recover fully from surgery "in another 10 days or so." Histological testing of the tumor and related lymph nodes was underway. The results, along with details of the tumor's molecular and genetic makeup, will help doctors determine whether the pope needs additional treatment. Options include chemotherapy, a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, or targeted oral therapy based on the tumor's genetic characteristics.
