Father Miguel Pro: A Modern Apostle and Martyr
The true story of a Jesuit priest in Mexico who strove to serve the people and the poor in secret during the violent anti-Catholic uprisings of the 1920s. He was known as a master of disguise and ultimately died a martyr. Biographies and literature about Father Miguel Pro (such as Father Miguel Pro: A Modern Mexican Martyr) highlight his life journey from childhood to his courageous ministry. After being ordained a Jesuit priest in Europe, Father Pro returned to Mexico in 1926. At that time, the Mexican revolutionary government banned religious practices and persecuted clergy. To evade the secret police, he disguised himself brilliantly, becoming a mechanic, a dapper businessman, and a beggar. With his cheerful personality, he administered the sacraments, helped the poor, and entertained the people in secret. He was eventually accused of involvement in an assassination attempt on a political figure. Without trial, the government sentenced him to death by shooting on November 23, 1927.
