A new Pope!

Now is a time for happiness, hopefulness and prayer.   The white smoke and the bells peal.  I don’t know much about the man, though I’ve heard some things through news accounts from Argentina over the years.  I look forward to learning more.  I wish him the best, and blessings for the Church through his ministry   I can’t imagine what it must be to take on the burden of leadership like that   Just saying yes to a small Protestant congregation in southeastern Indiana was enough to keep me up nights.  But this.  To quote Belloq, he’s no longer passing through history.  Now, Pope Francis I is history.  May God bless him and keep him and let his face shine upon him.
