Do you remember how Leo XIV celebrated his 70th birthday in 2025? Let\u2019s listen...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEO XIV<\/strong> It\u2019s a coincidence, but perhaps providencial, that this servant was born precisely on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. I really can\u2019t separate the two celebrations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And it wouldn't be a birthday without blowing out the candles...<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or without a birthday toast. He didn\u2019t do it alone...<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because who says you can\u2019t celebrate your birthday just because you\u2019re pope?<\/p>\n\n\n\n If we go back in time, one German had to celebrate this way. Here\u2019s Benedict XVI in 2017. This is how he turned 90: with a beer in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of Francis\u2019 birthdays were like this, sharing cake with the youngest ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In any case, a birthday is always a good time to look back on a life story. And this is the story of Robert Prevost, who has just turned 71.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, in the United States. He was the youngest of three brothers. Here they are with their mother, Mildred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He became an Augustinian at 22 and trained as a philosopher, mathematician, theologian and canon lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1982, he was ordained a priest in Rome, and at 30, he was sent on a mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He went to Peru, a country that later granted him citizenship. In 2001, he was elected Prior General of the Augustinians, a position he held until 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, he went to Chiclayo as diocesan administrator. A year later, Pope Francis appointed him bishop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He remained there until 2023, when his meteoric rise began. Francis called him to Rome for a senior position in the Roman Curia: prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. Soon after, he made him a cardinal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the rest is history. Prevost entered the conclave dressed in red and came out in white. Today, everyone knows him as Leo XIV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carmen \u00c1lvarez Cuadrado \/\/ Santi Taboada Do you remember how Leo XIV celebrated his 70th birthday in 2025?
