More wisdom from Father Miguel Pro

My life? What does that matter? Would it not mean saving it if I were to lose it for my brothers? Of course one must not throw it away stupidly, but when will the followers of Saint Ignatius enter battle if at the first shot they turn their backs? I am not boasting when I speak like this. I am well aware of the very little courage I possess but I feel that I could give courage to others, both priests and laymen. After all, the worst that they could do would be to kill me, but that will only happen when God’s good time arrives.
