Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 women inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday ritual meant to emphasize his vocation of service and humility.

The 87-year-old Francis performed the ritual from his wheelchair, after recent ailments have compounded his mobility problems.

Francis has traveled each year to a prison, refugee center or youth detention facility to emphasize his belief that a priest’s vocation is to serve especially those most on the margins. In his brief homily, delivered off-the-cuff, Francis explained the meaning of the gesture. (AP)

I've done this too, except it lasted a little longer and I probably wouldn't tell The Lord about it. 😂

Yeah, well, let's remember they're inmates. They're in prison for a reason, and it's likely that some of them are better off staying there.
