Louis Prevost does not waste words. When Newsmax’s America Right Now<\/em><\/a> asked Pope Leo XIV\u2019s oldest brother how the Pope was doing after his lung surgery<\/a>, the answer came quickly: \u201cWe were just talking a little bit ago, and he\u2019s doing fine. He\u2019s in high spirits. He was saying Mass. He\u2019s resumed some of his official duties as Pope.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Both parents \u2014 Mildred and Louis Prevost Sr. \u2014 died of cancer in their 70s. The disease is not new to this family.<\/strong> When the interviewer asked how their parents taught the Prevost brothers to face moments like these, Louis went straight to the source. He remembered watching his mother come home after chemotherapy. \u201cThat was rough on her. That was very rough on the rest of us.\u201d And yet she kept hosting family gatherings<\/strong>, or trying to. \u201cYou could tell she was miserable. She still tried.\u201d The lesson that stuck was as deep as it is simple: \u201cWe just didn\u2019t come from a family of \u2018I quit.\u2019 It was more: We\u2019re going to fight it to the end, and have faith in God that it\u2019ll turn out the way he wants.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
