Pope John Paul II has made a surprise appearance at the window of his Rome hospital to wave to people expecting his traditional Sunday blessing. Sitting in a wheelchair, the Pope made the sign of the cross to bless the faithful even though he did not speak. In a message read out by an aide in St Peter's Square, the Pope asked believers “to continue to accompany me... with your prayers”.
