New Pope, New Hope

When I checked my cellphone this morning, I had a message from London Eye.

She was advising me that a new pope had been elected.

It was the evening of 13 March 2013 in London (and in the Vatican).

I turned the TV on watched as the new pope emerged from the balcony.

I cried.

I was brought back to April 2005.

Pope John Paul II has just passed away.

I also cried then. 

Many things were happening then.

Many things are happening now.

Today we have a new pope.

I will take this as a sign of new hope.

Viva il Papa!
