Who is St. Maximilian Kolbe?

In celebration of the feast of #ImmaculataProductions' patron saint, Fr. Brendan Kilcoyne shares the extraordinary story of St. Maximilian Kolbe, Martyr of Charity and Apostle of Consecration to Mary.
"That night I asked the Mother of #God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one white, the other red. She asked me if I was willing to accept either of these crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity and the red that I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both."

Every one of us has an obligation to hurl back insults against the people of God. - Maximillian Kolbe. 1 Peter 3:9 'Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this end you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.''

St. Maximilian Kolbe, Please, call upon Jesus to save us from the Bishops! The Bishops DID NOT FIGHT abortion; they gave ONLY LIP SERVICE!
