"He shall rule from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth. And all kings shall adore Him, all nations shall serve him." (Ps. 71: 8,11) - Gradual for the Traditional Feast of the Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ
(#4535) Jesús tenia una contextura musculosa
A pesar de que en la misma biblia se dice que Jesús NO era un hombre hermoso, era un carpintero y un pescador, ambas profesiones muy físicas para la época. Además de eso, se alimentaba bien y caminaba mucho para repartir sus enseñanzas, por lo que debajo de sus humildes ropas debía tener un cuerpo bastante fornido.
Blessed Miguel Agustin Pro1
891 - 1927
Feast Day: November 23
José Ramón Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez, also known as Blessed Miguel Pro was a Mexican Jesuit Catholic priest. Falsely accused in the bombing attempt on a former Mexican president, Miguel became a wanted man. Betrayed to the police, he was sentenced to death without the benefit of any legal process. On the day of his execution, Fr. Pro forgave his executioners, prayed, bravely refused the blindfold and died proclaiming, "Viva Cristo Rey", "Long live Christ the King!" Known for his religious piety and innocence, he was beatified by Pope John Paul II as a Catholic martyr on September 25, 1988.
“Desde el momento en que mi alma se dio cuenta de ello; cuando él me atrajo sobre su pecho, cuando dijo a mi oído las dulces palabras de su amor, vi que había encontrado el único amor que podía saciarme, el único que podía hacerme feliz”.
Viva Cristo Rey.
