Like I Said... An Interesting Holy Week Awaits Us

From Rocco Palmo at Whispers in the Loggia:

In a sudden announcement this morning from the Holy See, Pope Francis has yet again turned Vatican protocol on its head – shredding the earlier plan of beginning the Easter Triduum in St Peter's Basilica, the new pontiff has instead opted to go to a juvenile prison in Rome to celebrate Holy Thursday's Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, at which he'll wash the feet of 12 inmates.
 

Like I said yesterday, symbolism isn't everything, but it matters.   Pope Francis is quickly moving the Church toward an evangelization that focuses on calling on Christians to help the least among us.
