Pope Francis intends to celebrate mass and wash the feet of inmates at Casal del Marmo, a prison for minors, on Holy Thursday

MANILA, Philippines – Pope Francis will be celebrating his mass on Holy Thursday with the prisoners at Rome’s Casal del Marmo, a prison for minors, on March 28 says Rome Reports. 

The Vatican said that apart from the mass, the Pope is also planning to wash the feet of some of the inmates on Holy Thursday. 

Rome Reports TV said this has been a tradition for the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Bergoglio. Every year, on Holy Thursday, he celebrated mass in a prison, hospital or with marginalized groups. 

Holy Thursday, which marks the Last Supper, commemorates Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. Jesus also taught them about service and humility. 

Rome Report said the prison is the same one that Pope Benedict XVI visited in March 2007. – Rappler.com
