.I"ll try to remember this:

So it turns out that roof of the Bernini colonnade is, indeed, a wi-fi hotspot, I suppose because it’s often used by media covering Vatican events.(Note to self: travel with extra batteries!) Here I am, behind the statues of the saints, looking out over the gathering crowd in St. Peter’s Square in front of the spectacular facade of the basilica.

The Pope’s homily this morning:

May the scarlet that you now wear always express the caritas Christi, inspiring you to a passionate love for Christ, for his Church and for all humanity. You now have an additional motive to seek to rekindle in yourselves those same sentiments that led the incarnate Son of God to pour out his blood in atonement for the sins of the whole world. I am counting on you, venerable Brothers, I am counting on the entire College into which you are being incorporated, to proclaim to the world that “Deus caritas est”, and to do so above all through the witness of sincere communion among Christians: “By this”, said Jesus, “all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (Jn 13:35).  I am counting on you, dear Brother Cardinals, to ensure that the principle of love will spread far and wide, and will give new life to the Church at every level of her hierarchy, in every group of the faithful, in every religious Institute, in every spiritual, apostolic or humanitarian initiative.  I am counting on you to see to it that our common endeavour to fix our gaze on Christ’s open Heart will hasten and secure our path towards the full unity of Christians.  I am counting on you to see to it that the Church’s solicitude for the poor and needy challenges the world with a powerful statement on the civilization of love.  All this I see symbolized in the scarlet with which you are now invested.  May it truly be a symbol of ardent Christian love shining forth in your lives.

The Cardinals’ titular churches are listed here.

Sean Cardinal O’Malley’s church is Santa Maria della Vittoria, which is probably best-known for Bernini’s Ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila statue.

Many photos here.

Some programming at Vatican Radio – as well as a short segment on the new Vatican Museum exhibit noted in Elizabeth Lev’s Zenit article below.

Michael has a list of the titular churches with some links – and also some reflections on the coverage
