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.

JUSTICE FOR ALBERTO STASI ⚖️
I stand with Stasi ❤️
Italian American organizations filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Columbus, Ohio on April 7 seeking to restore the Christopher Columbus statue to its original location outside City Hall. The 20-foot bronze statue, a gift from Genoa, Italy in 1955, was removed by Mayor Andrew Ginther in 2020 during nationwide protests. The suit claims the removal violated federal, state, and local laws and discriminated against the Italian American community. Plaintiffs include the Columbus Piave Club, Friends of Christopher Columbus Foundation, and the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations, represented by attorney George Bochetto who previously won similar cases in Pennsylvania.
In 2022, CJ Stroud and Ohio State beat defending champion Georgia 44-42 on a field goal in the final seconds to advance to the National Championship game.
Ohio State, known for their clutch field goal kicking in big games and consistent accuracy, drilled a 50-yard bomb as the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve heading into 2023.
The Buckeyes met TCU in the National Championship game a week later, where they lost 31-27 as the Horned Frogs earned their first national title since 1938.
After being vandalized and thrown into a lake by leftist protesters in Virginia, the statue of Christopher Columbus was relocated to New York through an initiative led by Italian Americans.
