VATICAN CITY —Pope John Paul 11 sent a message IA congratulations to Prince Charles on the occasion of his marriage to Lady Diana Spencer and a Catholic prelate participated in the wedding service of an heir to the English throne for the first time since the 17th century. "On the happy occasion of your wedding to Lady Diana Spencer," the papal telegram to the Prince of Wales said, "It gives me great pleasure to offer my best wishes to Your Royal Highness and your bride. "I pray that Almighty God will bestow upon both of you his richest blessings of peace and joy in many happy years of Christian married life and in the high service to which you have been called." The telegram in English was sent from the Gemelli Hospital where the pope is reported to be improving. Cardinal Hume's prayer for the royal couple said: "Almighty God, you send your Holy Spirit to be the life and light of all your people. Open the hearts of these your children to the riches of his grace, that they may bring - forth the fruit of the spirit in love and joy and peace, through Jesus Christ our Lord."
At the Gemelli Hospital, Dr Tresalti issued the 26th medical bulletin since the pope's assassination attempt, saying that the virus infection has been cleared up and plans were being made for an operation to reverse a temporary colosto my. Dr Tresalti said he was "perfectly convinced" that Pope John Paul would recover his full physical efficiency" within a month or two after the second operation. "The pope's psychological and moral state is superior to his physical recovery, which is not yet complete," he added. "He is perfectly himself, and e ven enriched by this experience." Pope John Paul is expected to remain at the hospital for one or two weeks after the operation and then go to the papal summer residence in Castelgandolfo until late September or early October. "At present the pope is very well, he is working normally and has regained weight," said

Dr Tresalti. Pope John Paul takes two or three walks each day around the 11th floor of the hospital, greeting other patients and s ometimes going to a window to bless visitors below. The pope went to the window of his room three times recently to greet 75 Polish boy scouts who came to Rome from Warsaw. The young people were singing Polish songs outside the window. Pope John Paul also went to his window to greet groups of people who had come to Rome on trips originally scheduled to coincide with the pope's weekly Wednesday audience. In tape recorded Angelus messages that are delivered each Sunday in St Peter's Square the pope called on listeners to think on the "closeness of God." The pope reminded his audience that God is present to them in every time and place," in vacation days, in daily life, in work and in (est, in joy and also in suffering and sickness." He told the Polish pilgrims that he was praying "for our fatherland: for a good harvest and for all that is indispensable for social order and for renewal." During the past week German magistrates have visited Rome's maximum security prison to question the pope's assassin, Ali Agca about two murders committed in Germany last year. Agca, under life sentence, refused to talk to them except to say that he had never been to their country. Both murders involve Turkish citizens living in West Germany and both victims are believed to have belonged to the Grey Wolves to which Agca also allegedly belonged. The German magistrates took back samples of Agca's fingerprints for further study. One of the murdered victims told police before he died that his killer had mentioned Agca and gave physical details of Agca which matched the assailant. Germany could ask for the extradition of Agca, but Turkey also wants Agca extradited for other charges.
