Ladies, I believe we have a God wink in todays election of our new Pope Francis I, chosen in honor of St Francis patron saint of animals. How many saw this picture while we were waiting for the white smoke to signal the election of our new Pope. The moderators, reporters and several sites were talking about this seagull that kept hanging around. Several people spoke about how it must have been a sign from God. I would hear that and think no, the Holy Spirit is a dove not a seagull. Yet here we are with with Francis I tonight. Patron saint of animals. I can see God sitting there smiling and saying I am going to show my children how I want them to live in solidarity with the poor, in unity with all of creation and working together with me to put my house back in order.
This common bird known by everyone the world over, message given in terms everyone can understand without words spoken aloud but to our hearts. Then out steps our new Pope, Francis, leading us in the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be; Universal prayers, and then he asks that we bless him! Yes I believe is was a definite God Wink.
