“Thank you for bringing me back to the Square,” he told Strappetti. It was more than gratitude for a physical return to a place. It was a recognition of something deeper—the heart of Francis’ mission: to walk with the people, touch their wounds, and meet them where they are. His papacy was never one of distance or protocol, but of proximity.

After a short time of prayer, the Pope moved quietly through the rotunda, personally greeting each inmate. There was no rush, no speeches—just moments of encounter, often wordless, but heavy with presence. He then led all gathered in the Lord’s Prayer and offered his blessing, before departing the prison approximately half an hour after his arrival.
