Miguel Pro was born on January 15, 1891. He was a mischievous boy who liked to have fun and make people laugh. In 1911, after a three-day retreat given by the Jesuits, Miguel became a novice in the Society of Jesus. Around this time, a political revolution in Mexico brought about a government that began to persecute and kill Catholics.
Miguel had to flee to Spain to finish his studies, and he was ordained a priest in 1925. He returned to Mexico to serve as a priest for just over a year before becoming a martyr. Reading this story can encourage you to follow in the footsteps of Blessed Miguel Pro, who helped bring Christ to those in need – even when it meant sacrificing his life.
