The Vatican released a video Friday with Pope John Paul II speaking at a Mass in a hospital. It was the first time the pontiff's voice had been heard since 24 February, when he underwent throat surgery to help ease his breathing difficulties. The Pope uttered a barely audible blessing at the end of a service attended by two Tanzanian bishops. The Pope is expected to return to the Vatican for the start of Easter holy week on Palm Sunday, on 20 March. He is planning to give his traditional Easter blessing on Easter Sunday, the Vatican said, while a number of cardinals have been chosen to preside over other traditional Easter ceremonies.
