Vatican City (Vatican), 20 May (LaPresse) – ‘I tell you sincerely, it never crossed my mind that what happened would happen. Once again, I think that our God of surprises has created a really big one this time. But as I have also said at times as a spiritual director or companion, we must know how to accept God's will even if it is not pleasant or easy.’ Thus Pope Leo XIV yesterday when meeting a delegation from the diocese of Chiclayo. In his speech, Prevost recalled that when he was a formator of Augustinians in Trujillo, north of Peru near Chiclayo, in 1998, he had to return to Chicago (USA) to become provincial prior of the Augustinians, and a nun said to him: ‘Father Roberto, our God is a God of surprises and every day he will give you a new one.’ ‘Prophetic words until now.’
