The heroism of Mexico's newest saint, St Jose Sanchez del Rio, should embolden the nation's priests to continue their ministry with trust in God, said the vice postulator of the young saint's cause.
For priests in Mexico, especially those who denounce the activity of drug traffickers and find themselves targeted for attacks, the life of St. Jose is a call to place their "full trust in God," Antonio Berumen, the vice postulator, told Catholic News Service on October 14.
"There comes a time in which, evidently, we must live through difficult times, but in the end Jose's message is 'I trust in you,'" he said. "It is complete trust in God and having the assurance that there is someone who acts and continues to act in the lives of men and women."
