And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:40

If true love really is to look beyond the imperfect body and into the soul of another human being, then this is one of the most enduring images of that love I have seen in a while. 
In an interview following his encounter with Pope Francis, Vinicio Riva, who suffers from a rare genetic condition, said that being embraced by the Pope made his heart beat so fast he thought he 'would die'. No words were spoken. Words are often over-rated anyway.
