Pope Francis performs Holy Thursday foot washing for young inmates.
Pope Francis washed the feet of 12 young inmates at a juvenile prison in Rome during a livestreamed Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday. In his homily, he reflected on the meaning of Christ's choice to wash the feet of his disciples and urged the young people to help one another. Despite his recent hospitalization for bronchitis, Francis was expected to preside over an intense schedule of Holy Week liturgies and services.
