PHOTO: Man without a face blessed by Pope Francis

Pope Francis took the time at the end of his weekly audience to hug a man with a severely disfigured face.

The man received a blessing from the Pope, who has made a point of devoting time to greet and bless sick or disabled people at the end of the general audience, held in St Peter’s Square every week.

Pope Francis I made the headlines two weeks ago when he placed a kiss on neorofibromatosis sufferer Vinicio Riva’s growth-covered head.

Since he was elected eight months ago, Pope Francis has been seen to wash the feet of juvenile delinquents, personally call distraught worshipers on the phone and invite homeless people to dine at St Peter’s Square.

Earlier this year, Francis tweeted to his 3.2million followers: ’The Pope must serve all people, especially the poor, the weak, the vulnerable.’
