12:48 (Manila Time)
Pope Benedict XVI appeared from the balcony of the Vatican Basilica to greet the people and briefly addressed the crowd and deliver his first papal blessing.
"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me - a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord. The fact that the Lord can work and act even with insufficient means consoles me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers. In the joy of the resurrected Lord, trustful of his permanent help, we go ahead, sure that God will help, and Mary, his most beloved mother, stands on our side."
