ROME – Pope Francis despite technically observing a two-month period of rest after a 38 day hospitalization ventured out twice Thursday, once to greet hospital staff who cared for him, and once to greet prisoners amid Holy Week.
On Holy Thursday the pope, who usually visits a prison, or a center for migrants or the disabled, to celebrate Mass of the Lord’s Supper and wash the feet of inmates, paid a private visit to Rome’s Regina Coeli prison.
