Leo XIV: The Pope from Both Americas

Leo XIV
The Pope from Both Americas

by: Thereza Ameal

From Humble Beginnings to the Chair of Peter—Through the Eyes of an Angel.

Hello! I’m a guardian angel. Yes, a real one. I don’t have big, fancy wings or a golden harp, but I do have an important mission.

The day God asked me to watch over Robert — who would one day become Pope Leo XIV — he said with an all-knowing smile, “You’ll need patience . . . and a sense of humor. But I’m counting on you. This boy has a big mission ahead.”

I didn’t hesitate. I’ve protected bishops, martyrs, and even a missionary who could never keep track of his shoes. I knew I was ready. From the moment Robert Prevost was born into a loving, faith-filled family, God was shaping him for his greatest calling: to become Pope Leo XIV.

Follow his journey through the eyes of someone who was with him every step of the way—his guardian angel!
