Habemus Papam - Francis I

We gratefully praise God for the gift of the humble man who is now our pope:
Pope Francis I.

Holy Father, one of your first acts was to ask the people in the Square of St. Peter to bless you before you impart your own blessing on them. Then you bowed and silence filled the night as all prayed over you.

We shall continue to pray for you to receive the Wisdom of the Trinity, strength and holiness of life that shines as a Godly and good example to all.

Bienvenido y muchas bendiciones para usted. Amamos a nuestro Santo Padre!
