Dear Friends
What a beautiful homily by St Francis, I mean Pope Francis, at yesterday's Installation Mass. Full text is here
Maybe someday the installation ceremony can be simplified and made more meaningful and happy. I've been to more joyful funerals
On
today's menu there's an
article which includes these words from Bishop Pat Power in Canberra.
My feeling exactly about Pope Francis:
I wept with joy as
I watched our newly-elected Pope Francis being introduced to his flock and to
the world. Leading up to the conclave, I prayed that the Holy Spirit would give
us another Pope in the mould of John XXIII – a humble, pastoral leader who
would show us the way to Jesus by his prayerfulness and his simplicity of life.
Fifty years since the beginning of Vatican II, I believe that Pope Francis will
enable the Council’s teachings to inform the lives of the faithful and all
people of goodwill in 2013 and in the years ahead. Our love and our prayers go
with him.
God bless Pope Francis! Please give him good health, courage, wisdom, and safety
