Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen WE HAVE A POPE!!!! How amazing and wonderful is that! God has given us a leader, a protector, a shepherd! And what a wonderful one he will be, I feel it!  I feel so thankful that the Lord would bless us with such a man!  He seems just the right guy for the job. O Lord, we are the millions of believers, humbly kneeling at Your feet and begging You to preserve, defend and save the Sovereign Pontiff  for many years. He is the Father of the great fellowship of souls and our Father as well.  On this day, as on every other day, He is praying for us also and is offering unto You with holy fervor the sacred Victim of love and peace.

We will miss you Papa. We will pray for you and for a new Pope who will continue to guide us towards Christ.
