Father Robert Prevost was reported dead in the newspaper, his friend, Armando Jesús Lovera Vásquez, told AciPrensa.com on November 6. Lovera recently published the book From Roberto to León: Friendship, memory and mission about his memories of Pope Leo XIV. Originally from Iquitos, Peru, the author met Pope Leo XIV in Trujillo and shared conversations and daily life with him for years. His book paints a hagiography of Robert Prevost as a "simple man with a sense of humor and a great capacity to listen." Lovera explained that when Prevost was reported dead, it was "a young man, an Augustinian postulant, who died in a bus accident while traveling to Lima for the new year." The young man’s parents, from a rural area north of Trujillo, couldn’t retrieve their son’s body and asked Father Roberto to bring it back to their village. "He drove over 2,000 kilometers round trip to do them a favor," the author explained. While making the arrangements, they wrote his name down incorrectly and …More

Bit early for that... O Maria diana stella O Maria, diana stella, che riluci più che 'l sole, dir non posso con parole, o Maria, quanto sei bella. O Maria, di sol vestita, delle stelle coronata, della luna sei calzata, specchio sei di nostra vita. O Maria, quel tuo bel manto, che tu porti al santo coro, campo azzurro e stelle d'oro è fiorito tutto quanto. O Maria, del ciel regina, madre del nostro Signore, speranza del peccatore, tutto il cielo a te s'inchina. O Mary, Divine Star O Mary, Divine Star, who shines brighter than the sun, I cannot express in words, O Mary, how beautiful you are. O Mary, clothed with the sun, crowned with the stars, wearing the moon, you are the mirror of our life. O Mary, that beautiful mantle of yours, which you bring to the holy choir, a blue field and golden stars, is all in bloom. O Mary, Queen of Heaven, Mother of our Lord, hope of the sinner, all heaven bows to you. Music: youtube.com/watch?v=zHPdOhwqtnE Image: ANGELICO, Fra - Madonna of the Star

While we regret, then, the errors of the impious and of heretics, let us profit by the advantages which we gain by hearkening to the voice of the …More
"This shame," Theodore answered, " I and all who invoke His name take with joy." He was condemned to be burnt. As the flame rose, a Christian saw his soul rise like a flash of light to heaven."
