Franciscans hold candles and pray during Mass at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Porziuncola to ask the Holy Spirit to assist Pope Francis in his new role on March 14, 2013 in Assisi, Italy. Cardinal Jorge Mario Begoglio took the name Francis after St. Francis of Assisi who had renounced a life of privilege, gave away all his possessions, wore a coarse woolen tunic and lived in a hut after taking a vow of poverty. The Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli is much venerated as the place of St. Francis' death.
