Born in 1891, by fifteen, Miguel is a beloved son and a mischievous rascal. Rather than attending school far away from the affectionate society of his sisters and brothers, he assists his father, an agent assigned to a remote mining camp in Zacatecas. His family begins to worry when at twenty he still has no idea about the direction his future should take. Then he knows: he is to become a priest. Miguel's journey to the priesthood is plagued by difficulties and setbacks that temper and transform the mischievous youth into Padre Pro, a man ready to lay down his life for Christ his King. Blessed Miguel Pro dies before a firing squad on false charges of bombing and attempted assassination of the President. Padre Miguel Pro was beatified in 1988 by Pope John Paul II.163 pages, softcover.
