But as we said, as I reported, an American was not ruled out. They were looking at an American. You were saying this was possible? It was only today when it moved as fast as it moved, that everyone said, well, it must be an Italian, but let’s just say this again.

The world needs his light. humanity needs him, right? Like the bridge to God and his love Help us and all others to build bridges with dialog with meeting to be one common people living always in peace. Thank you to Pope Francis. I should also like to thank Cardinal all my Cardinal brethren who have chosen me to be the successor of Peter, and to walk with you as a united church, always seeking peace and justice, seeking to work with men and women who are faithful to Jesus Christ without fear, to proclaim the gospel, to be missionaries. I am a son of Saint Augustine, Augustinian. who said, Sono Cristiano with you I am a Christian, and for you a bishop. And I think in that sense, we can all walk together. to that. Homeland, that home which God has prepared for us. to the church of Rome, a very special greeting. We have to seek together to be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges and dialog, always ready to accept. Like this great piazza with its arms. We have to show our charity presence and be in dialog with love. And I’d also like to say a greeting. In Spanish to all those who particularly, and particularly to my dearest beloved that diocese in Peru where a faithful people So these people accompanied their bishop to share their faith with him, and, who has done so much to, be a faithful church to all you brothers and sisters of Rome, of Italy, of the entire world is, We must be a Senator church, one which goes forward and which always seeks peace. Charity, and to be close to those who suffer. This is the day of the supplication to the Madonna of Pompei. Mother Mary always wanted to accompany us and be near us. To help us with her love. And I should like to therefore pray together with you. Let us pray for this new mission. for the entire church and for peace in the world.
