Padre Pro Blessed Miguel
Pro: Martyr of Mexico
The inspiring story of the
famous Fr. Miguel Pro, S.J.,
who was executed in Mexico
in 1927. This young Jesuit
spent most of his short life
in the priesthood dodging the
Mexican police as he ministered
to the underground
Church during the Mexican
Revolution. Fr. Pro’s quick
wit and keen sense of humor
were put to good use as he pedaled around Mexico
City on his bicycle in various disguises, en route to
administering the Sacraments, giving spiritual talks
or begging food and money for the poor. But behind
the disguises beat the heart of a saint. Fr. Pro’s last
words on this earth were: “Viva Cristo Rey”—Long
live Christ the King! In Spanish with English subtitles.
