The Pope's First Words
Inauguration Mass will be held on March 19 at 9:30 am, Rome time, which is 4:30 am S. FL time. I think I'll catch the taped version. March 19 is the feast of St. Joseph, patron of the Universal Church and Father's day in Italy. How appropriate, no?
Some personal thoughts: His Italian was easy to understand. His father was born in the same region of Italy as my grandmother. I love the fact that he is a Jesuit. The Pope looks like a humble man. I want to find out if he took the name Francis after Assisi or Xavier. Even though he is not from Italy maybe he is enough Italian to make the Italians (in Italy) happy. I'm happy though and grateful we have a new pope.
Now tomorrow the first thing to do at work is hang the bunting before the newspaper comes to take pictures.
