 General Description:

Ann Ball

This is the inspiring story of the famous Father Miguel Pro, who was executed in Mexico in 1927 for the "crime" of being a Catholic priest. This young Jesuit spent most of his short life in the priesthood dodging the Mexican police as he ministered to the underground Church during the Mexican Revolution.

Fr. Pro's quick wit and keen sense of humor were put to good use as he pedalled around Mexico City on his bicycle in various disguises en route to administering the Sacraments, giving spiritual talks or begging food and money for the poor. But behind the disguises beat the heart of a Saint-as the Mexican people testified by turning out in throngs to pay their last respects after his martyrdom. Fr. Pro had offered his life for the Catholic Faith, and his last words on this earth were: "Viva Cristo Rey! "-"Long live Christ the King!"

Blessed Miguel Pro makes history come alive and highlights the dramatic conflict between the Church and her enemies that continues even to this day. Every member of the family will be delighted by this fast-paced, true story of a modern Catholic hero who proclaimed both in life and in death the reign of Christ the King.
