Saint José Luis Sánchez del Río

1913-1928

Feast Day: February 10

Saint Jose Sanchez del Rio lived during the turbulent Catholic persecution in Mexico, by the Calles government, called the Cristero War. St. Jose had a love for Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Blessed Sacrament. He pleaded to be a Cristero at the young age of 13 and was finally allowed. During a fierce battle, the general’s horse was shot in which Jose, gave him his own horse. This cost him his life. He was captured and imprisoned. Jose’s captures ordered him to renounce his faith, but with courage he would not, yelling “Viva Cristo Rey and Long live Our Lady of Guadalupe". He died after being tortured, without a trial, at 14 years old. In 2016, Jose was canonized.

Rosary is a way of reflecting the mysteries in the life of our Lord. It is a Gospel in miniature, a summary of the truths of our faith, and a little school of virtues. By the frequent recitation of prayers and meditating the episodes in the life of Christ through the eyes of His Mother, we become closer to the Lord, and if we are close to the Lord, we make our lives more meaningful and happy.

Cristiada

A política anti-clerical do governo mexicano fez com que, em janeiro de 1927, milhares de camponeses pegassem em armas, aos gritos de Viva Cristo Rey!. Não tardou que se lhes juntassem descontentes de todo o tipo. A sangrenta Guerra Cristera ou Cristiada durou até 1929. Custou 90.000 vidas, criou 26 santos e inspirou a Juan Rulfo algumas páginas de “Pedro Páramo”.
