"I hope that when I return to Rome this evening, I will find white smoke. I am particularly pleased to be here at the beginning of the Conclave so that the Holy Spirit may blow strongly and the Pope that today's Church and today's world need may be elected. [The new pope] must first of all seek to strengthen faith in God in our world characterised by technological progress but, spiritually speaking, we have noticed a certain ‘forgetting of God’. There is a need for a reawakening."
