In a touching gesture before the Mass, Pope Francis I left his open-air vehicle to bless and kiss a disabled man.

The pope pledged to defend the weakest among us.
Pope must protect all of God’s people especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important – says Francis.

That message was emphasized on the official @Pontifex Twitter account.
Let us keep a place for Christ in our lives, let us care for one another and let us be loving custodians of creation.

True power is service. The Pope must serve all people, especially the poor, the weak, the vulnerable.
