José was born at a time when the Mexican government was attempting to ban Catholicism which led to the Cristero War. At 14, José begged to join the fight, but was only admitted as the flag bearer. During the war, he was captured and told that if he renounced his faith, his life would be spared. He refused, and as a final act, the bottom of his feet were skinned and he was forced to walk to his grave. When at the foot of his grave they asked him again to renounce his faith; he responded: “I will never give in. Long live Christ the King and Our Lady of Guadalupe!”
