The Pope offered Mass this morning in the parish of St Anne, Vatican City.
The Pope stepped out of a plain black car and
immediately began shaking hands and blessing babies.
The small church was packed and many were unable to find seats.
At the end of the Mass, Francis did the unexpected.
He walked to the podium again,
and talked about a priest from Uruguay
whom he had spotted among the faithful attending the Mass.
The priest, Don Gonsalvo
stood up while Francis was talking about his work
with street children and drug-addicts for whom he built a school.

This morning, Pope Francis stopped by the Vatican-owned residence where he routinely stays during visits to Rome and where he stayed before the start of the conclave to pick up his luggage and pay the bill.
The Rev. Pawel Rytel-Andrianek, who teaches at the nearby Pontifical Holy Cross University and is staying at the residence, said he didn't just come to get his luggage, noting that anyone could have come to get his suitcases.
"He wanted to come here because he wanted to thank the personnel, people who work in this house," he said. Francis met with the staff in the dining room. "He greeted them one by one, no rush, the whole staff, one by one," Rytel-Andrianek said, noting that the pope knew everyone by name.
