Blessed Miguel Pro's Ordination Picture
Miguel (first row, right) was ordained at Enghien, Belgium, on August 31, 1925 by Bishop Lecomte. After the ceremony, the new priests were greeted by their relatives. Father Pro would have wished to bring down his first blessing on his mother's head, but of course the families of the Mexicans could not come. He was sad, but said, "After all, we are priests... and that is enough." Far from his own but close to God he repeated throughout the day a prayer which he later told a friend: "On the day of my ordination, I merely asked Our Lord to be useful to souls."
