In an interview with Vatican Radio, Monsignor Dario Vigano, prefect of the Secretariat for Communications, explained that the aim of the photo-sharing site account is to "tell the story of this Pontificate through images allowing people who want to follow or know more about the Pope to see and share his gestures of tenderness and mercy."

His first image was posted at 7:27 a.m. ET. The image shows the Pope kneeling in prayer, with a caption written in multiple languages, asking followers to pray for him
