He is a wonderful choice; a pastor God sends not just to the Church but to every person of good will who honestly yearns for justice, peace and human dignity in our time.

It seems that my brother Cardinals have come almost to the ends of the earth to get him\u2026 but here we are. I thank you for the welcome that has come from the diocesan community of Rome.<\/p>\n<p>First of all I would say a prayer pray for our Bishop Emeritus Benedict XVI.. Let us all pray together for him, that the Lord bless him and Our Lady protect him.<\/p>\n<p>Our Father\u2026<br>\nHail Mary\u2026<br>\nGlory to the Father\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And now let us begin this journey, the Bishop and people, this journey of the Church of Rome which presides in charity over all the Churches, a journey of brotherhood in love, of mutual trust. Let us always pray for one another. Let us pray for the whole world that there might be a great sense of brotherhood . My hope is that this journey of the Church that we begin today, together with help of my Cardinal Vicar, be fruitful for the evangelization of this beautiful city.<\/p>\n<p>And now I would like to give the blessing, but first I want to ask you a favour. Before the bishop blesses the people I ask that you would pray to the Lord to bless me \u2013 the prayer of the people for their Bishop. Let us say this prayer \u2013 your prayer for me \u2013 in silence.<\/p>\n<p>[The Protodeacon announced that all those who received the blessing, either in person or by radio, television or by the new means of communication receive the plenary indulgence in the form established by the Church. He prayed that Almighty God protect and guard the Pope so that he may lead the Church for many years to come, and that he would grant peace to the Church throughout the world.]<\/p>\n<p>[Immediately afterwards Pope Francis gave his first blessing Urbi et Orbi \u2013 To the City and to the World.]<\/p>\n<p>I will now give my blessing to you and to the whole world, to all men and women of good will.<\/p>\n<p>Brothers and sisters, I am leaving you. Thank you for your welcome. Pray for me and I will be with you again soon.<\/p>\n<p>We will see one another soon.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I want to go to pray the Madonna, that she may protect Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Good night and sleep well!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Goodnight Papa!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Better Bloggers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tom McDonald: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/godandthemachine\/2013\/03\/habemus-papam\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Habemus Papam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Hamilton: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/publiccatholic\/2013\/03\/habemus-papem-pope-francis-i-who-is-he\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\">Habemus Papem!
