José was ultimately captured by the government troops and imprisoned in the sacristy of the local church. During his captivity, José was ordered to renounce his faith in Christ. Even under the threat of death, José refused. He cried out in pain, but José did not give in. They told him if he shouted, “Death to Christ the King,” they would spare his life. Instead, José would shout, “I will never give in. Viva Cristo Rey y Santa Maria de Guadalupe!”

St. José Luis Sánchez del Río was beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on November 20, 2005 through the Cardinal-Prefect of the Congregation of the Causes of Saints. On January 21, 2016, Pope Francis approved a miracle attributed to him and he was officially canonized on October 16, 2016.
