Dear brothers
and sisters,
after
our great Pope, John Paul II, the Cardinals have elected me,
a simple, humble worker in God's vineyard.
I am consoled
by the fact that the Lord knows how to work and how to act,
even with insufficient tools, and I especially trust in your
prayers.
In
the joy of the resurrected Lord, trustful of his permanent
help, we go ahead, sure that God will help. And Mary, his
most beloved Mother, stands on our side. Thank you.
Benedict XVI - April 19, 2005
