Moment by moment, sign by sign, and word by word, Pope Francis has defined his papacy in the 10 years since his election to the See of Peter. Through iconic gestures and memorable quotes, the Holy Father has used his service in the Petrine ministry to call Catholics throughout the world to be animated, living bearers of the Gospel.
The day after his election, Pope Francis, in his first act as Pope, visited Santa Maria Maggiore, where he paused to pray at the tomb of Pope St Pius V. Commentators took special delight in the image of the Jesuit Pope named Francis praying before a Dominican saint. But the visit had deeper symbolism still. Pope Pius V was a renowned reformer of the Roman Curia.
Dominic, who suffers from extremely limited physical mobility, raised his arm and put it around the Pope. The image became iconic, reprinted in newspapers and carried on websites across the globe, showcasing the Pope’s special love for the sick and disabled.He has regularly dined with those experiencing poverty, including on the World Day of the Poor, which he established during the Jubilee Year of Mercy in 2016.
