ITALY-POPE-VATICAN

A mobile phone displays a tweet of Pope Francis reading "Please pray for me" on his @Pontifex twitter account on March 13, 2014 in Rome. Pope Francis today marked the first anniversary of his election in prayer and quiet contemplation of the meaning of Lent, far from the adoring crowds and controversies of Rome. In keeping with Francis's tendency to eschew much of the pomp and ceremony associated with his role, the anniversary was not marked in any official way, with the exception a solitary tweet from the official @Pontifex account. "Please pray for me," the 77-year-old wrote to his 12 million followers in nine languages, echoing an appeal he made in his first address to followers from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica exactly one year ago.
