When white smoke comes out of the chimney on the roof of the Sistine chapel, the protodiacon will announce to the world from the balcony of the Basilica of Saint Peter: “Annuntio vobis Gaudium magnum: Habemus Papam” (I tell you great joy, we have a pope) and exchange his name and name and name he took.

Then the new pope will enter the balcony, give the first blessing “Urbi et orbi” and welcome the faithful.

Appointed “from a distant country”. What John Paul II said

John Paul IIstanding on the balcony on October 16, 1978, he greeted the world with the words: – Let Jesus Christ be praised! The most expensive brothers and sisters!

He said that the cardinals had established a new bishop of Rome “from a distant country”. “From a distant, but always so close through communication in faith and Christian tradition,” he added.

He also said about his fears. – I was afraid to accept this choice, but I accepted him in the spirit of obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ and in the spirit of complete trust to His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary – he confessed. “I don't know if I will be able to speak your Italian language well,” he said. And he asked the faithful: – If I make a mistake, you will correct me.

He also stated: – I present myself to all today to confess our common faith, our hope, our trust in the Mother of Christ and the Church with the help of God and with the help of people.

Benedict XVI about “a modest employee of the Vineyard of the Lord”

In turn, Benedict XVI, 19 April 2005, addressing the world “Sisters and brothers”, said: – After the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals chose me – a simple and modest employee of the Lord's vineyard.

He added that he is comforted by the fact that “the Lord can also act through imperfect tools.” – In the joy of the Risen Lord and trust in his help, we are moving forward. The Lord will help us and the Mother of God will be on our side – assured Benedict XVI and gave blessing.

“Good evening”. Greetings from Franciszek

On March 13, Pope Francis welcomed over 100,000 faithful gathered in Saint Peter's Square on 13 March 2013 with the words: – Brothers and sisters, good evening.

– You know that the conclave was to give Rome the bishop. It seems that my cardinals went to find him almost at the end of the world – he added. He thanked for the welcome “Diocesan Community of Rome”, which – as he noted – is a bishop.

He then prayed for the bishop of retired Benedict XVI. “Let us pray for him to bless him and Madonna guard him,” he asked. – Now let's start this common trail of the bishop and the people, this trail of the church of Rome, the first in love among all churches. The trail of brotherhood, love and mutual trust – he said. – Let's always pray for ourselves, some for others. Let us pray for the whole world, so that there is a great brotherhood – he appealed.

And he added: – I wish you that this trail of the church, which we start today, where the Cardinal Wicar present here will help me, would be fruitful for the evangelization of this beautiful city.
