Product Description
Synopsis
A biography of the Polish friar, canonized in 1982, who founded the Militia of the Immaculate, wrote numerous periodicals and newspapers, and while imprisoned in Auschwitz, sacrificed his life for another man.
From the Author
Polish Saint who died in place of another in Auschwitz
This book grew out of my interest in saints of the Twentieth Century. In 1995, I flew to Poland where I visited the sites associated with Poland's famous, modern saint and martyr. While in Poland, I stayed at the Franciscan monastery outside Lodz, from which I travelled to St. Maximilian's birthplace in Zdunska Wola, his childhood home in Pabanice, where he had the vision of the Virgin Mary at age ten. At Niepokalanow, the Franciscan Monastery he founded in 1927 outside Warsaw, I saw the museum of his life and work, sat his very own desk, and met several elderly friars who were Kolbe's students in the 1930's. Among them was Fr, George Domanski, the world's authority on St. Maximilian, who examined my book and corrected any innacuracies. Most deeply moving was standing outside the cell in Auschwitz where the saint died after suffering fourteen days without food or water,after offering to take the place of another condemned prisoner. This book will demonstrate to young people the heights of love to which Christians can rise. Here is a true hero for our time, a saint who lived what he preached, total love toward God and man.
