As we round up our Lenten season with this fifth week in Lent, we come across a beautiful saint by the name of Toribio de Mogrovejo. Toribio was born in Mayorga, Spain, on November 16th, 1538. He died on March 23rd, 1606, in Saña, Peru, while on pastoral visitation. He was the Archbishop of Lima, and he was appointed as archbishop in 1579 and wasn't even yet a priest—interesting. He was rapidly ordained a priest and consecrated bishop after his appointment, and then he was canonized in 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII.
