SaintCast #128, Blessed Miguel Pro, ‘God’s jester’

By Paul Camarata • September 6, 2009

In one of the fiercest Catholic persecutions of the last 100 years, ‘God’s jester,’ Miguel Augustin Pro, was executed for his witness to Christ among the faithful of Mexico.  Learn about his many disguises, his pranks, and his faithful ministry to the poor in SaintCast #128.  Also, Paul takes to the street in St. Louis to ask St. Louisians ‘who is their patron saint?’Feedback on St. Philomena, three new podcasts join SQPN, and news in the canonization cause of Blessed Junipero Serra all on this week’s SaintCast.

    What a chock-filled podcast this week! The passage from St. Augustine’s Confessions is especially beautiful – could you post where in the text we can find it?

    Thanks! :-)

    Jessica,

    Here’s a copy of the moving selection I read from the Office of the Readings from the Confessions of St. Augustine, from Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio’s website, the crossroads initiative http://www.crossroadsinitiative.com/library_article/207/Jesus_is_the_Only_Way__St._Augustine.html
