Conclave Notes

March 2013 in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican Apostolic Palace, with the
"Extra omnes" pronounced at 5:33pm by Msgr. Guido Marini, master of the
Liturgical Celebrations of the
Supreme Pontiff, following the taking of the oath by the 115 cardinal electors.

First “Urbi et Orbi” Blessing of the New Holy Father Francis
Before the new Pope appeared at the balcony, an honour guard of Swiss Guards
in full military regalia and bearing the pontifical standard marched into the
square and took their places under the Loggia followed by a representation of
the various Italian
armed forces that, since 1929, have paid homage to the Pope on important
occasions as a sign of the reconciliation between the Holy See and the Italian
State. The Holy See marching band accompanied the wait. As soon as they heard
the name of the new
pontiff, the crowd began to chant together: “Francesco, Francesco”.
At 8:24pm, the Holy Father Francis, preceded by the Cross, appeared at the
Loggia of the brightly lit Vatican Basilica. Before imparting the “Urbi
et Orbi” (“to the city and the world) apostolic blessing he
greeted the enormous crowd
that had been gathering all afternoon in cold and rainy St. Peter's Square
saying:
“Dear brothers and sisters,
Good evening. You know that the duty of the Conclave was to give Rome a
bishop. It seems that my brother cardinals picked him from almost the ends of
the earth. But here we are! I thank you for the warm welcome. The diocesan
community of Rome has its
bishop. Thank you! First and foremost I would like to say a prayer for our
Bishop Emeritus Benedict XVI. Let us pray together for him, that the Lord
bless him and the Virgin keep him.”
After leading the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Gloria, Pope Francis again
addressed the crowd saying:
“And now let us begin this journey, bishop and people, this journey of
the Church of Rome, which is the one that leads all the churches in charity. A
journey of fraternity, of trust between us. Let us always pray for one
another. Let us pray for
the world so that this might be a great brotherhood. I hope that this journey
of the Church that we begin today, and in which my Cardinal Vicar here present
will assist me, will be fruitful for the evangelization of this beautiful
city.”
“Now I would like to impart the blessing, but first, first I ask a favor
of you. Before the bishop blesses the people, I ask that you pray to the Lord
that He bless me: the prayer of the people asking a blessing for their bishop.
Let us pray in
silence, this your prayer for me.”
“Now I will impart the blessing to you and all the world, to all men and
women of good will.”
After imparting the apostolic blessing Pope Francis added: “Brothers and
sisters, I take my leave. Thank you for your warm welcome. Tomorrow I'm going
to pray to the Virgin, that she will safeguard all of Rome. Good night and
rest well.”

FR. LOMBARDI: JOY AT ELECTION OF LATIN AMERICAN POPE
Vatican City, 13 March 2013 (VIS) – “I am very happy that a Latin
American has been elected. We know the hopes that it would have been someone
from the continent that has the majority of Catholics [in the world],”
were the first words
of Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., director of the Holy See Press Office,
commenting on the election of the new Pope to reporters.
“The choice of the name Francis is very meaningful,” he said.
“It is a name that has never been chosen before and evokes simplicity
and an evangelical witness. His first, simple appearance in public testifies
to both. It is a sign of
great spirituality to ask the people's blessing for him before giving his own.
It is a spirituality that recalls that of his predecessor. His pastoral sense
of relationship with the Diocese of Rome should also be noted. It is the
Pope's diocese and [he
chose] to pray the Church's simplest prayers with the People of God at a
moment like this.”
“Cardinal Bergoglio,” he added, “is a Jesuit. Jesuits are
characterized by their service to the Church, collecting all the charisms that
the Lord gives us wherever they are needed, but trying to avoid positions of
power. For me this
election takes on the meaning of a call to server, a strong call and not a
quest for power or authority. I am absolutely convinced that we have a Pope
who wants to serve. His election was the election of a rejection of
power.”
“The new Pope has already spoken by phone with Benedict XVI,” Fr.
Lombardi finished, moving on to information of the new Pope's first acts:
Tomorrow, Thursday 14 March, at 5:00pm, he will celebrate Mass with the
cardinals in the Sistine
Chapel. On Friday, 15 March, at 11:00am in the Clementine Hall of the
Apostolic Palace he will meet with the full College of Cardinals, electors and
non-electors. On Saturday, again at 11:00am but this time in the Paul VI Hall,
the Pope will have an
audience with journalists and those who work in the media. On Sunday at
12:00pm, he will recite the first Angelus of his papacy as is customary, in
St. Peter's Square. The Mass to inaugurate the new papacy will be held on
Tuesday, 19 March, at 9:30am.
His visit to a Marian church tomorrow morning will be private.
