Pope Francis

Pope Francis to prison on Holy Thursday: “I cannot wash your feet, but I want to be close to you”

After a short time of prayer, the Pope moved quietly through the rotunda, personally greeting each inmate.

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.
