  • Saint Toribio (in Latin Thuribius) Romo González was a Mexican martyr who died in the Cristero War. He was born April 16, 1900, in Santa Ana de Guadalupe, Jalostotitlán, Mexico. In 1912 he entered the Auxiliary Seminary in San Juan de los Lagos. He was a playful and happy seminarian who loved to joke. In 1922 he was ordained as a priest. He offered his first Mass on January 5, 1923. He primarily emphasized the catechesis. He underwent severe trials, however, as he was ordered by the government when the religious persecutions began in 1927 to confine himself to his residence and was not allowed to pray the Rosary in public or to say Mass. A man of intense prayer, Fr. Toribio carried out his pious works in an exemplary manner with emphasis on examination of conscience, meditation, spiritual exercises and visits to the Holy Sacrament. He always demonstrated a great spirit of faith, a certainty in hope of reaching Heaven, and a compassion that moved him to suffer along with others (to the point of depriving himself of his own basic necessities). Obedience and desire shone in him, he was austere, quiet and sometimes troubled. He was ready to die for God, but he did feel fear and asked for God’s grace and strength. In 1927 he was transferred to Tequila for his safety. He set up residence in a factory, and his sister, María, and brother, Román, (also a priest) came to live with him. On Friday, February 24th, 1928, he spent his day organizing the parish registry. Two days before he had sent his brother away for safety. Fr. Toribio finished his work at 4:00am on February 25th and decided to sleep a little. An hour later the government troops arrived and broke into the bedroom where Fr. Toribio was sleeping. One soldier shouted: “Here is the priest, kill him!” He said, “Here I am, but do not kill me. ” One soldier fired, and Fr. Toribio rose from his bed and took a few steps until a second bullet caused him to fall into the arms of his sister, who cried in a loud voice: “Courage, Father Toribio... merciful Christ, receive him! Long live Christ the King!”

  • Toribio (en français Thuribe, en latin Thuribius) Romo Gonzalez est un ecclésiastique né le 16 avril 1900 dans le village de Santa Ana de Guadalupe au Mexique, assassiné le 25 février 1928 et canonisé en 2000. Il entra à 13 ans au petit séminaire de San Juan de los Lagos puis au séminaire de Guadalajara où il fut ordonné prêtre avec une dispense à cause de son jeune âge. Il devint vicaire de diverses paroisses dont celle de Cuquio pendant la présidence de Calles (1877-1945) à partir de 1924. Plutarco Calles avait fait voter des lois particulièrement anti-cléricales (loi du 9 novembre 1926) rendant passible de mort la distribution des sacrements. En 1927, le Père Thuribe Romo fut envoyé à Tequila où il célébrait la messe dans une ancienne distillerie pour quelques fidèles en cachette. Il fut tué le 25 février 1928 au matin par des soldats des forces fédérales gouvernementales menées par un délateur. Son corps dépouillé de ses vêtements fut transporté dans une parodie de procession par ses meurtriers chantant des obscénités et jeté dans le village voisin. Il avait écrit dans son journal qu'il offrait son sang pour la paix de l'Eglise. Il fut béatifié en 1992 et canonisé en 2000 par Jean-Paul II avec d' autres martyrs mexicains.
  • San Toribio Romo venne ordinato sacerdote nel 1921 a Guadalajara, gli venne affidata una parrocchia a Tequila, vicino Jalisco. Durante le Guerre dei Cristeros si nascoste nel ranch "Agua Caliente" (in italiano, "acqua calda") dove diceva Messa per i contadini. La mattina del 25 febbraio 1928 mentre stava ancora dormendo, venne svegliato da un gruppo di soldati e da un contadino che li aveva condotti da lui, appena gli indicò il sacerdote, quelli fecero fuoco uccidendolo. Il 21 maggio 2000, papa Giovanni Paolo II lo ha canonizzato insieme ad altri 25 martiri delle guerre dei Cristeros, la maggior parte di loro erano preti cattolici che sono stati giustiziati per aver continuato a svolgere le loro funzioni religiose, nonostante le leggi anti-cattoliche di Plutarco Elías Calles le avessero proibite. Viene ricordato il 25 maggio.
