**Washes Feet Of Prisoners Including Muslims and Women. **he said; "Whoever is the most high up must be at the service of others". **I love doing it because this is what the Lord has taught me. **Pope Francis rejects the Pope's Residential Manson for 2 Bed room. Pope Francis washed the feet of 12 young offenders including two girls and two Muslims at a Rome prison on Thursday in an unprecedented version of an ancient Easter ritual, seen as part of efforts to bring the Catholic Church closer to those in need. The pope knelt down, washing and kissing the young prisoners’ feet in the first Holy Thursday ceremony of its kind performed by a pontiff in prison, and the first to include women and Muslims. “Whoever is the most high up must be at the service of others,” Francis said at the mass in the Casal del Marmo youth prison, a fortnight after being elected Latin America’s first pope. “I do this with all my heart because it is my duty as a priest, as a bishop. I have to be at your service. I love doing it because this is what the Lord has taught me,” the 76-year-old said. Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said many of the participants broke down in tears at the ceremony, which was open only to Vatican media. One young man had to be replaced at the last moment because he was too overcome with emotion. Video footage from the ceremony showed the pope pouring water over the feet — one of them with tattoos — bending down to kiss them and looking each of the 12 prisoners in the eye before moving on. Pope Francis refused to be living in the normal Pope's Residential Manson for 2 Bed room.

I'm so moved. We have read and heard about so many saints with such humility and virtue and the danger is that we might think of them as fairy tales... ...No! This one, like Mother Teresa's, is unfolding before our very eyes. It is possible to be a saint in the 21st century! |
