We have a Pope!!

I am very excited with the election of the new pope, Pope Francis! I've been reading whatever I can about him and the more I read the more I'm falling in love with him. His first words on the balcony were a joy to hear (even though I don't speak Italian). He speaks so gently and is so obviously a man of deep prayer. I love how he led the whole crowd in the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the Glory Be. He gave up the archbishop's large residence to live in a humble apartment, takes public transportation, and cooks his own meals. This photo of him also speaks volumes:

God Bless you Pope Francis and your papacy.
