Viva Cristo Rey!

Picture
On Friday, February 24, 1928, Padre Toribio Romo González (born 1900) spent his day organizing the parish registry. Two days before, he had sent his brother away for safety. Padre Toribio finished his work at 4 a.m., on February 25, and decided to sleep a little.

An hour later, the government troops arrived and broke into the bedroom where Padre Toribio was sleeping.

One soldier shouted: "Here is the priest! kill him!"

"Here I am, but do not kill me," he said.

One soldier fired, and Padre Toribio rose from his bed and took a few steps until a second bullet caused him to fall into the arms of his sister, who cried in a loud voice: "Courage, Padre Toribio...merciful Christ, receive him! Long live Christ the King!"
