Pope Francis marked his 78th birthday on December 17 by ordering the distribution of hundreds of sleeping bags to homeless people in Rome, the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website reports today (December 19, 2014).
Konrad Krajewski -- the archbishop in charge of the pope's charity work -- led an operation in which a minibus packed with 400 sleeping bags carrying a papal ensign toured around the Italian capital last night looking for people who could use them.
"This is a gift for you from the pope on the occasion of his birthday," the Swiss guards who helped in the distribution were quoted as telling the recipients.
Pope Francis -- leader of the world's Catholics -- has made concern for the poor one of the most important themes of his papacy.
