Blessed Miguel Pro Martyr Minibook

Blessed Miguel Pro Minibook is a 44-page printed staple-bound Catholic minibook by Bob and Penny Lord, published by Journeys of Faith. It introduces Blessed Miguel Pro as a 20th-century Mexican martyr and offers a compact, readable resource for personal devotion, parish study, and Catholic gift giving.

• 44 printed pages in a staple-bound minibook format for easy reading and sharing
• Written by Catholic authors Bob and Penny Lord
• Focuses on Blessed Miguel Pro and the Mexican Martyrs
• Includes the historical witness of his final words, "Viva Cristo Rey," meaning "Long Live Christ the King"
• Useful for prayer time, confirmation saint research, and faith formation

His last words, "Viva Cristo Rey," identify him clearly as a martyr for the Catholic faith. Fr. Pro became a role model for the Mexican Martyrs who followed him. Although he knew it likely meant certain martyrdom, he obeyed his superiors and returned to minister to his flock in the vast Diocese of Mexico City.

Unlike a general Catholic history summary, this minibook centers on one priest's courage, pastoral service, and witness under persecution. It recounts how he used disguises to continue serving the faithful, was eventually captured, and stood before the firing squad forgiving those who were about to kill him. With a cross in one hand and a rosary in the other, he proclaimed, "Viva Cristo Rey!"

This printed devotional booklet works well for individual reading, parish groups, classroom discussion, or anyone seeking concise Catholic books on saints, martyrdom, and Mexican religious history.
