The Pope of Hope!

Words can not describe how very excited I am about the election of our new pope.

Pope Francis I

Habemus Papam!!

The First is just an understatement: He is the first pope from the Americas, The first pope to be from Argentina, The first pope to be a Jesuit, the first pope to take the name Francis and the first pope that openly takes public transportation.

All of the above attributes, instill hope within my soul, within my very being. A sense of healing for the universal church, a sense of peace for the world.

Pope Francis, is just as humble as the saint of which he has taken the name. He reminds me of the neighborhood grandfather, quiet and even tempered but able to give strict discipline when needed. I await his gentle shepherding of  his flock The Church!

I also love the fact he strives for simplicity, you can tell in the way he speaks and the live from which he came, that he is truly a pope of the people and for the people.

I can't help but think that his papacy will be one we all will remember, one of rebuilding, one of healing and one of true hope!

Viva Papa Francisco!
