An Italian soccer news site has a sweet story<\/a> about Pope Francis who apparently gets up very early without an alarm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Future papal guard. Currently eats jam and bread.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Loose translation of the story:<\/p>\n

Recently, when he left his apartment at Domus Marta and went out into the hall, the Pope found a Swiss Guard standing at attention outside his door.<\/p>\n

He asked him, \u201cAnd what are you doing here? Were you awake all night?<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d the guard answered respectfully.<\/p>\n

\u201cStanding?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my colleagues gave me a break.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019re not tired?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my duty Your Holiness, for Your safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pope looked at him with kindness. He went back into his apartment and, after a few minutes, returned with a chair in his hand: \u201cAt least sit down and rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shocked, the Swiss Guard replied, \u201cForgive me, but I can\u2019t! The rules don\u2019t allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rules?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy captain, Your Holiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, is that so? Well, I\u2019m the Pope and I am asking you to sit down.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, between the rules and the Pope, the Swiss Guard, complete with his halberd, chose the chair. And then the Pope brought him some bread and jam for a snack, saying, \u201cBuon appetito, brother.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Happy Saturday!<\/p>\n
