Miguel Agustin Pro, Priest and Martyr

Miguel lived in Mexico during a time when the Christian faith and the Catholic Church were persecuted and the faithful were forced to abandon their faith. Miguel became a Jesuit priest who worked among the remaining Catholics, often in disguise to avoid authorities. He was finally captured and brought before a firing squad. At the time of his death, Miguel opened his arms like Christ on the cross, and photos of him dying in this manner were spread throughout Mexico, re-enlivening people’s faith!
