Viva il Papa

Hallelujah Hallelujah we have a new Pope. Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis I, is the first Latin American, the first Jesuit and the first Francis in the Chair of St. Peter. My heart leaped for joy upon the announcement of such a humble man, and a man so rich in spiritual passion. His humility, self-denial and love for the cause of God and of man will be an example for all of us to reexamine what is truly important in life. As Pope Francis, he brings a theological brilliance, personal holiness,  and an example of missionary outreach combined with constant concern for unity, and loyalty to the great church we've been given. Our Lord to St. Francis of Assisi: "Francis, Rebuild my Church!" Pope Francis has a lot of work ahead of him but with our prayers and God's help he can bring healing to our church and rebuild our church stronger then ever before. Thanks be to God for our new shepherd, Pope Francis!
