Pope Francis on Sunday acted as a pharmacist as he prescribed a special dose of spiritual medicine,
offering some 20,000 boxes of “mercy” — containing rosary beads — to pilgrims in St Peter’s Square.
“I now want to suggest a medicine.‘What?’ you ask, ‘the pope is now a pharmacist?’” Francis said, shaking a box resembling a pack of tablets, after reciting the traditional Sunday Angelus prayer from a window overlooking the square.
Labelled “Misericordina, 50 Grammes for the Heart” and emblazoned with an image of the human heart, the box contains 59 threaded rosary beads.
