This is a picture of the 86th successor of St. Dominic. He was elected this past Sunday, September 5, 2010, at the General Chapter in Rome.
A medical doctor by (secular) profession, the 56 year-old friar succeeds the Argentinian Carlos Azpiroz Costa, who maintained the order's longstanding tradition of handing over the reins after one nine-year term.
This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Dominican presence in the Americas… and this Master will officiate over the 800th birthday of the Order, in 1216.
It's been about three decades since a Master of the Order hailed from France.
Our prayers go with him.
