04:46It comes from God,

04:48God who loves all of us

04:50without any limits and conditions.

04:54And we still have the sound in our ears

05:05of the weak voice of Pope Francis,

05:13We have that fresh in our minds, in our hearts,

05:16in our ears, hearing his voice,

05:17the Pope who was blessing Rome,

14:06Amen.

14:07And we just

14:18heard the blessing there,

14:20we see the blessing there

14:21of Papua the 14th

14:22to the world,

14:24to the city,

14:25this most solemn blessing

14:26to all of us

14:28and all of you

14:29visiting and watching

14:30out there.

14:33What is interesting

14:35is he's smiling

14:36and I found very touching

14:37the fact that

14:38he made reference

14:39to his former

14:42diocese in Peru

14:43and spoke to them

14:45and spoke to them

14:45in Spanish.

14:47Very, very touching

14:48moment and now

14:48I'm thanking them

14:49for how they

14:50accompanied me.

14:51And so,

14:52from this moment,

14:53I think we all

14:55accompany the

14:56new Holy Father

14:57with our prayers

14:59and for both.

15:01And once again,

15:02he asked,

15:02just like Pope Francis

15:03did before,

15:05he asked for

15:06continued prayers.

15:06You know,

15:07this is a heavy task

15:09as we all

15:10noted before

15:11and he continues

15:12to ask all of us

15:13for prayers

15:13and also for

15:14the intercession

15:15of Our Lady

15:15on the special feast day.

15:18And he asked us

15:19especially to be

15:20a bridgeman

15:20as he is

15:21a contract

15:22of the Lord

15:23of the Holy Spirit

15:23and that we should

15:24go up with

15:25God and Jesus

15:26both here

15:26in the diocese

15:27of Rome,

15:28in Italy

15:28and throughout

15:29the world

15:29and that we should

15:31build that

15:31on fraternity

15:32and on solidarity

15:34and on value.

15:37So many times

15:39Pope Francis

15:39told us the same.

15:41You know,

15:42there have been

15:42false debates,

15:43I think,

15:44in leading up to this

15:45about unity

15:46and diversity

15:47and things

15:47and he's made it clear

15:48that he's looking

15:50for us to be united

15:51but also to be

15:52the bridge borders

15:53and to bring about

15:54peace in the world

15:56of the Holy Spirit.

15:57We're seeing

15:58this stunning footage

15:59or there's a video

16:00of that he drone

16:02there going

16:02close to the balcony

16:04and seeing

16:06I think it's the first

16:08time we look

16:09images like this

16:10up close

16:10of the new Pope.

16:13There's about

16:14a hundred thousand

16:14people we're getting

16:15in this square

16:16right now

16:16who are seeing

16:17Pope Leo XIV

16:21for the first time.

16:21It's amazing

16:33all the people

16:33who are appearing

16:34in the square now

16:35and the connections

16:37they have

16:37present and past.

16:39Again,

16:39quite a novelty

16:41in American Pope

16:42and here he is

16:43waiting

16:43and again

16:44once again

16:44you can see

16:44the emotion

16:47and a sense

16:50of responsibility

16:51the weight

16:51of the office.

16:53This is a beautiful

16:54view seeing

16:54from inside

16:55the lodger

16:56looking out

16:57what he would see

16:58as he waves

17:01to the crowds.

17:04It's a very

17:04interesting place

17:05today.

17:06I don't know

17:07if you remember

17:07we used it.
