Habemus Papam Pope FrancisVaya con Dios


Today, we have a new Pope.  Vaya con Dios (means Go with God or Godspeed)

Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose the name of Francis, one of the patron saints of Italy.

May we bless the workings of the Holy Spirit to help guide us and direct us and Pope Francis I. 
 

I didn't know anything about this man until today.  It will be inspiring to learn from him in the course of his papacy. 

What impresses me at first glance is that he was still
using public transporation.  Wow! 

The moment of silence pictured below was moving, as well
as the Hail Mary we all prayed together. 

Vaya con Dios.
