Vatican City, Mar 17, 2013 / 05:20 am
The new Pope's spontaneity was revealed again today when he cracked two jokes after his very first Angelus prayer in front of thousands.
On a more serious note, he asked people to never get tired of asking God for forgiveness.
"Don't forget this, the Lord never gets tired of forgiving, it is we that get tired of asking forgiveness," said Pope Francis today at Saint Peter's Square.
"Let us not hear or condone words of contempt , but only words of love and mercy that invite us to conversion," he told the crowd.
