Best Answer

"Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the Cardinals have elected me, a simple, humble laborer in the vineyard of the Lord. The fact that the Lord knows how to work and to act even with insufficient instruments comforts me, and above all I entrust myself to your prayers. In the joy of the Risen Lord, confident of his unfailing help, let us move forward. The Lord will help us, and Mary, His Most Holy Mother, will be on our side. Thank you."

It was 135 words long. * William Henry Harrison gave the longest inaugural speech with 8,445 words. He died the next month of pneumonia from being exposed to the cold and wet during his speech.
