``Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me - a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord.
``The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers.
``In the joy of the risen Lord, trusting in his permanent help, we go forward. The Lord will help us and Mary his very holy mother stands by us.''
What a holy man Christ has called to the Chair of Peter. This is not false humility, he is the real deal. Let's pray very hard for Pope Bendedict.
