Chapter One One misty, chilly November morning in 1927, a slender, young priest was led before a firing squad in Mexico City and was shot. The man was Miguel Agustin Pro, S.J. Today he is world-famous because of his life of charity and suffering, as well as for practical jokes. Father Pro had committed no crime. As a member of the Society of Jesus, he had worked hard and patiently to bring bread to the poor and the Eucharist to the faithful.
