Pope Francis celebrates first Mass at Sistine Chapel

Pope Francis has celebrated his first Mass in the Sistine Chapel alongside the cardinals who elected him.

During the service he delivered a homily which will be carefully scrutinised for what it may reveal about his priorities for the Church.

Speaking in Italian he told the congregation: "I would like all of us... to have the courage to walk in the presence of God."
