The Life of ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE

Author: William LaMay
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781794305663
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 159

Book Description
This book, The Life of St. Maximilian Kolbe, Apostle of Mass Communications, recounts the life of Saint Maximilian Kolbe. In it you will learn how his personal experience of an apparition of the Virgin Mary sent him on the path to a religious vocation with the Franciscan order and to the mission of spreading Marian devotion that eventually reached to all four corners of the globe. Father Kolbe was dedicated to saving souls through Christ and his Mother by making both physical and spiritual sacrifices. As a seminary teacher, he told his students that his ultimate goal was to become a great saint through his love of fellowman. He attained this goal when, as a prisoner in Auschwitz, he died in a starvation bunker so that another prisoner, a stranger to him, could live. In all likelihood, Kolbe's academic brilliance would have gained him a Nobel Prize had he decided to use his God-given gifts to pursue a career in mathematics or science. Instead, this humble priest was inspired by the mother of Jesus to embark on the path of sacrificial love and use his knowledge of philosophy and theology to convert souls to Christ through Mary. His chosen path took him through years of pain and suffering, culminating in living out Christ's words: "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends" (John 15:13).
