Before newly elected Pope Francis imparted his first apostolic blessing from the balcony of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome on the evening of March 13, 2013, to a crowd of 200,000 people, he made one request. “Before the Bishop blesses the people, I ask that you pray to the Lord that he bless me — the prayer of the people, asking a benediction for their Bishop,” he said.
Likewise, the Pope’s first tweet, on March 17, 2013, was: “Pray for me.”
