This book brings together writings about Robert Prevost, OSA, by Augustinians, those who taugh him and studied with him in Chicago, and some of his writings from when he was in Peru and when he was Provincial of the Augustinians in Chicago.
“The contributors of this current work address different facets of Pope Leo’s (aka Robert Prevost, OSA) theological, ministerial and spiritual journey from early personal encounters with him to current discourse impacting a world hungry for a message of hope.
This project offers personal enrichment, capturing the bridge between the historical ‘personal encounters’ and his ‘current discourse’. This offers a powerful way to frame his legacy and offer a message of hope to a world entangled in disarray.
It is source of great joy and satisfaction to myself, and the Midwest Province, that this volume is a publication in a new Augustinian Series. I thank all those involved in any aspect of this production. It is edited by an Augustinian friar, has a number of Augustinian contributors, and gives details of ‘Bob’s’ (Pope Leo) life as friar, both in the US and Peru, and his time when he was Prior Provincial of the Midwest Province as well as Prior General of the Order of St Augustine, Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru and then Cardinal Prefect. This book then, adds to the various books being researched, written and published about his life and ministry, but more importantly is one which brings a very distinctive Augustinian ‘flavor and focus’. I can only commend it to all readers, Augustinians and beyond!”
From the Foreword by Anthony B Pizzo, OSA
