Pope Leo XIV's old diocese at Chiclayo in Peru on Thursday recalled how the then Cardinal Robert Prevost had worked tirelessly when the area was hit by a cyclone in 2023.
Solidarity with the poor, attention to listening, great collaboration, this is how Msgr.
Guillermo Antonio Cornejo Monzón, auxiliary bishop of Lima, and current president of Caritas Peru, remembers the qualities of Msgr.
Robert Francis Prevost, then bishop of Chiclayo and today successor of Peter as Pope Leo XIV.
"During the cyclone that devastated our country, at the beginning of 2023, Msgr. Prevost did not spare himself, he was at the side of those who no longer had anything, a house, land to cultivate, to work", Msgr. Cornejo told the Ancep agency, the information body of the Peruvian Church, who recalls "the images of the bishop who went out into the streets with his boots, to bring help to the inhabitants of northern Peru".
