Pope Francis demonstrating diakonia



Our new Pope is seen here as Archbishop of Buenos Aires washing the feet of this lady while weaing the stole of the Deacon.  And lest we forget, taking the name of Francis, in honor of Francis of Assisi, he honors a founder and Saint who indeed was a Deacon and never a Priest.  Of course this was because of his profound love for the Priesthood which he claims to never aspire to...

And we all now that diakonia means charity, service!

What a humble Holy Father!
