THE NIGHT BEFORE HE WAS EXECUTED, THIS SAINT WROTE A LETTER.
His name was Miguel Pro.
He was only 36 years old.
A Jesuit priest in Mexico during the Cristero persecution, when the government made it illegal to be Catholic, illegal to celebrate Mass, and illegal to wear a priest’s collar in public.
So Father Pro went underground.
He disguised himself as a mechanic, a beggar, and even a businessman.
He smuggled the Eucharist to the dying in secret.
He baptized babies in hidden rooms.
He heard confessions inside moving cars.
Every day, he risked his life to bring Christ to souls.
When the government finally captured him, they wanted to make him an example.
They invited photographers, believing the image of a dead priest would humiliate the Church.
But Father Miguel Pro walked calmly before the firing squad.
He refused the blindfold.
Then he stretched out his arms in the shape of a Cross and cried out:
“¡Viva Cristo Rey!”
Long live Christ the King.
Moments later, they shot him.
But the photograph they took to destroy the faith became one of the most powerful images of Catholic martyrdom in history.
They tried to silence Christianity.
Instead, they gave the world a witness of fearless faith.
Father Miguel Pro was beatified by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1988.
If you are going through something painful today, remember this:
A 36 year old priest smiled in front of a firing squad because he knew Christ was worth everything.
His faith was not just words.
It was total surrender.
🕊️ Repost this for someone who needs courage today.

Recuerda, alma cristiana, que, en la Ascensión, Cristo no nos abandona, pues nos deja la Eucaristía, prenda de la gloria futura, en la que Él realmente está presente, en cuerpo, sangre, alma y divinidad; tan alto y tan poderoso como lo está en el Cielo, el cual ha sido precisamente inaugurado para nosotros con esta gloriosa ascensión.
Además, desde una perspectiva sobrenatural, no podemos olvidar que la Iglesia es el cuerpo místico de Cristo, o sea, el mismo Cristo extendido, difundido y comunicado, como enseña el obispo Bossuet. Por lo tanto, así como, por la Ascensión, la humanidad de Cristo está en la gloria de Dios, nosotros, que somos los miembros de su cuerpo místico, tenemos la esperanza de alcanzarla.
Que este gran misterio, pues, nos avive el corazón para tener cada día un deseo mayor por llegar a nuestra verdadera Patria, la Jerusalén celestial.

Que viva la Hispanidad. 🇪🇸🇲🇽
Un legado de fe, cultura, historia y valores que une a millones de personas a ambos lados del océano.
Junto al Rey Felipe VI de España, recordando que nuestras raíces también son parte de nuestra identidad y de nuestra historia compartida.
España y México tienen que volver a Dios, a la familia y a los valores que dieron origen a nuestra civilización.
Dios bendiga a España, a México y a toda la comunidad hispana.
