FRANCIS?? Francis!

"I am about to do a new thing upon the earth . . ."

• He laughed as he spoke from the balcony
• led a plain old Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be
• took a never-before name
• as a novice, must've taken one of those living-rough pilgrimages
• was born in a different country from his parents (which makes him a wanderer on the earth)
• will probably lapse into Spanish often as he tries to make "home talk" his working language
