Quick Glance: Pope Washes Feet of 12 Women at Rome Prison
  • Pope Francis washed and kissed the feet of 12 female inmates at a Rome prison during a Holy Thursday ritual to emphasize his calling of service and humility.

  • He revolutionized the foot-washing ritual for the Vatican by insisting, since his first Holy Thursday as pope in 2013, on having women and people of other faiths among the 12 participants.

  • Francis appeared in good shape at the prison, even after presiding over a long Mass earlier in the day in St. Peter’s Basilica. He was also energized by his visit to the Rebibbia prison, where he was given a basket of vegetables grown in the prison garden as well as two liturgical stoles.

  • Despite the conclusion of Holy Thursday events, Francis has a lot to do in the upcoming days that will test his stamina, including the nighttime Way of the Cross procession at the Colosseum on Friday.

Quick Glance: Pope's Call for End to Ukraine War Directed at West
  • Russia interprets Pope Francis's suggestion for discussions with Moscow to terminate the conflict in Ukraine as an urging to Kyiv's Western partners to relinquish their aspirations and acknowledge the Western misstep in the Ukrainian war.

  • The Pope urged Ukraine to exhibit the courage to engage in negotiations with Russia to cease the bloodshed that ensued Moscow's invasion two years ago.

  • Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, highlighted that the West exploits Ukraine to advance its goals of weakening Russia, affirming that Russia has never hindered the negotiation process.
