Saint Maxmilian Kolbe - Martyr of Auschwitz

Saint Maxmilian Kolbe, or Raymond as he was called when baptized, was born into a divided Poland.

As had happened before and since, poor Poland, unfortunately located, had been a battleground, and the two powers, Russia and Austria, took what they wanted, leaving nothing for Poland itself. But to a Pole, it was and always would be Poland.

Like with most of their compatriots, life was hard for Father Kolbe's parents.

They worked hard and long hours. They never complained; instead, they considered hardships and hard work as a necessary road to eternal life.

As a young girl, his mother Maria pleaded with the Lord, she be allowed to become a religious.

When she became resigned, she couldn't enter a convent because she didn't have the necessary dowry, she prayed:

"O Lord, I do not want to impose my will on you if Your designs are different.

Give me, at least, a husband who does not curse, who does not drink, who does not go to the tavern to enjoy himself. This, O Lord, I ask you unconditionally."

God answered Maria's prayers and she married Jules Kolbe, a fervent Catholic, everything she had prayed for.

In addition, the father of Saint Maxmilian Kolbe was a leader in the Third Order Franciscans!
