@abdimarihotmarbun: Pope Leo Surprises Old Friend on His 70th Birthday In a warm and private gesture, Pope Leo XIV visited the Augustinian community at St. Monica College to celebrate the 70th birthday of his old friend and fellow friar, Father Alejandro Moral. The two first met as young students in Rome in the 1980s, and their bond deepened through decades of shared ministry and leadership, including twelve years together at the helm of the Order of St. Augustine. The lunch was a celebration not just of a milestone birthday, but of enduring brotherhood, faith, and the Augustinian ideal of community life rooted in truth and friendship. #PopeLeo #LeoXIV #augustiniancommunity #Rome #catholicnews credit video IG reels @shalomworldnews
