Cardinal-designate Prevost sees new role as a way to 'walk together'
By Linda Bordoni and Thaddeus Jones
Archbishop Prevost is from Chicago, Illinois in the United States and a member of the Order of Saint Augustine . He served for a decade and a half in the O.S.A. missions in Peru, followed by teaching in the US, leadership roles as Prior General of the entire Order for two terms, and later as Bishop of the Diocese of Chiclayo, Peru. Pope Francis appointed him Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in 2023.
Recalling the words of Saint Pope Paul VI, he said that"being a cardinal is a mission of love with Christ, our Savior," and that"a cardinal is called to give his whole life in service to the Church." The colour red of a cardinal's vestments is associated with the blood of the martyrs, he notes, and this means great responsibility.
Cardinal-designated Prevost says it is not a coincidence that Pope Francis will hold the consistory for the creation of new cardinals right at the beginning of the first session of the Synod on Synodality, noting his firm conviction that"all of us are called to walk together."
