9/7/2020 0 Comments September 07th, 2020After the Soviet Socialists arrested all Greek Catholic bishops in pre-war Poland and shut down the Greek Catholic Church, Redemptorist Father Ivan Ziatyk was interned with his confreres in the Congregation’s house in Golosko. Interrogated and tortured, he was held in prisons and eventually sentenced for "spreading Roman Popery and Catholic faith among nations of this world” and for "collaboration with anti‑Soviet nationalist organization and anti‑Soviet propaganda.” Shipped to Camp Number 7 OzierLag, he was nearly drowned by Soviet guard, beaten with batons and sticks, left out for the night, and soon perished, still faithful, on May 17, 1952.

"To be established or confirmed in good is of the nature of beatitude." -- #SaintThomasAquinas (1225-74) 9/7/2020 0 Comments September 07th, 2020Before the firing squad was ordered to shoot, Father Miguel Pro raised his arms (with a rosary in one hand and a crucifix in the other) in imitation of Christ and shouted the defiant cry of the Cristeros, "Viva Cristo Rey!" – "Long live Christ the King!"

VIVA CRISTO REY! 12/2/2017 Viva Cristo Rey! VIVA CRISTO REY! -- Father Miguel Pro's last words before he fell after being executed by the firing squad, November 23, 1927, for being Catholic. Father José Ramón Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez, S.J., also known as Blessed Miguel Pro (born January 13, 1891 – executed November 23, 1927) was a Mexican Jesuit Catholic priest executed under the presidency of Plutarco Elías Calles... Father Pro was executed without trial. President Calles gave orders to have Pro executed for the assassination attempt, but in reality for defying the virtual outlawing of Catholicism. Calles had the execution meticulously photographed, and the newspapers throughout the country carried photos on the front page the following day. Presumably, Calles thought that the sight of the pictures would frighten the Cristero rebels who were fighting against his troops, particularly in the state of Jalisco. However, they had the opposite effect... Before the firing squad was ordered to shoot, Pro raised his arms (with a rosary in one hand and a crucifix in the other) in imitation of Christ and shouted the defiant cry of the Cristeros, "Viva Cristo Rey!" – "Long live Christ the King!". When the initial shots of the firing squad failed to kill him, a soldier shot him at point-blank range --- From Wikipedia 9/4/2020 0 Comments September 04th, 2020Accused by the Soviet Socialists of collaborating with counterrevolutionaries in the Polish consulate in Kiev, Father Józef Żmigrodzki was shipped to Yaroslav Prison, then KemLag concentration camp, and finally to the SLON concentration camp on Solovetsky Islands where he perished, on June 14, 1934.
