Biography
[edit]Moral was born in La Vid, Burgos, Spain. He attended high school at the Seminary College of Saint Augustine in Palencia and, in 1972, entered the Augustinian novitiate of the Monastery of Santa Maria de La Vid, taking his simple vows on September 12, 1973.[1]
He studied philosophy at the same Monastery of Santa Maria de La Vid, and theology at the Augustinian Major Seminary of Tagaste (Los Negrales). In 1978, he was sent to the International College of Santa Monica in Rome, where he completed his theology degree. He made his solemn profession in the Order of Saint Augustine on September 7, 1980. He was ordained a deacon on January 4, 1981, and on June 20 of the same year, he received his priestly ordination in the chapel of the Colegio San Agustín in Madrid.[1]
Father Alejandro holds a degree in Sacred Scripture from the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome and in Dogmatic Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University. In 1983, he was assigned to the community of the Tagaste Major Seminary, where he was a professor, director of studies, formator, and bursar. Between 1989 and 1991, he served as coordinator of the Formation Team of the Tagaste Augustinian Major Seminary, and from 1991 to 1995, he was provincial councilor in charge of formation and religious life. In January 1995, he was elected prior provincial of the Augustinian Province of Spain, and was re-elected for a second term in 1999.[2]
At the general chapter held in Rome in 2001, Fr. Alejandro was elected to the post of vicar general of the Order. In 2004, he became procurator general and, in 2007, assistant general. On 4 September 2013, he was elected prior general for a six-year term. He succeeded Fr. Robert Francis Prevost. On 9 September 2019, he was re-elected for another six-year term.[3]
