Maximilian Kolbe, a Hero's Call

.
Georgette, Our Lady of Hyderabad, who blogs at Chronicle of a Meandering Traveller, has an unfair advantage over the rest of us American bloggers. It's already been Monday, August 14, for four or five hours where she is in south central India, so she gets to blog on a personal favorite saint of mine, St Maximilian Kolbe, while I was still doing the research. Jeepers!.

"Men will be chaste not just when women demand it of them but when they see it as a heroic way to prove their manhood..."

"Whether it is pre-marital chastity to respect women, periodic abstinence in marriage to respect wives, or permanent celibate chastity for God's kingdom, a man must learn it or live in a state of perpetual adolescence."

Ah! Here is a breath of fresh air! The world certainly needs this Saint today. And it needs to hear about the virtue of chastity which Maximilian Kolbe bore with heroic honor, as clearly pointed out in this message by Father Tom Euteneuer, president of that world reknowned apostolate for life, Human Life International.
