So far, no one has yet to appear on the balcony. It is now Wednesday morning, and the cardinals continue with the election process in the Sistine Chapel. It is expected that the next smoke from the chimney will be 30 minutes from now. Stayed tuned! In the meantime, here are more photos from yesterday's Mass at St. Peter's Basilica.

I am jealous. I wish I was there at this time. It must be so exciting!!
