The Miguel

Miguel Pro was a priest in 1920’s Mexico exiled due to the vicious Calles laws which made it illegal to hold Christian church services. He was falsely arrested for a crime he did not commit and tortured for his faith. Later he was martyred by firing squad. His final request was for an opportunity to pray and that he not be hooded during the execution. He was shot standing in a crucified position, when that failed to kill him he was shot in the head. His martyrdom is believed to be the first ever captured on film. This was intended to intimidate Christian rebels but instead lead to a strengthening of the ‘Cristero’ rebels. TAPs for @Software’s daughter in her recovery and for he and his M as they parent her through this adversity. @SloMo that the recent challenges in his health journey would not be setbacks but opportunities to grow in strength and faith.
