ROME (Reuters) - Pope Francis will recite his weekly Angelus prayer on Sunday from the chapel of his Vatican residence instead of the usual venue overlooking St. Peter's Square, the Vatican said in a statement.

Francis went to a hospital in Rome on Saturday for a scan, which the Vatican said had ruled out lung complications after a bout of flu forced him to cancel his activities.
