Lulu Garcia Navarro shared an indelible image of Pope Francis in his first visit to Latin America as pope, He “walked, utterly accessible, in a favela among the most needy. It was a promise, which he kept, that his papacy would be about the most vulnerable.”

Near the end of his life Pope Francis performed another memorable act, washing the feet of 12 women at a prison in Rome during a ceremony emphasizing humility. It was the first time the pope has washed the feet of women only during the special annual service.
