Humble Heroes

"No sword of their own won the land; no arm of their own brought them victory. It was Your right hand, Your arm and the light of Your face: for You loved them"(Psalm 44). The humble and holy ones overcome the powers of evil, because they rely not upon themselves but upon the grace of God. They are humble and realize their need for God. For, no sheer act of will can make a man a hero; only humble cooperation with God's grace can do this. Ask God to make you a saint. He will!

Blessed Miguel Agustin Pro

On this day in the Year of Our Lord 1926, Padre Miguel Augustin Pro was martyred "courtesy of" Mexican President Plutarco Elias Calles. Pope John Paul II beatified Padre Pro on the birthday of President Calles. God has a great sense of humor! I say, with Padre Pro, Viva Cristo Rey ! And little Jose Sanchez del Rio replies: Que viva !
