We
know this martyr saint, whose feast day we commemorate today, offered his
earthly life so that another might physically live. His writings, although maybe not as well
known as the manner of his death, make it clear that it was the preservation of
one’s eternal life that was more important to him.
Why
not honor this humble, loving priest by spending a few minutes reading and reflecting
upon two unchanging spiritual principles he undoubtedly knew would be abandoned
by so many after his death.
On
Truth - No
one in the world can change Truth. What we do and should do is seek It and
serve It when It is found.
On
Salvation of Souls - We have no right
to rest as long as a single soul is Satan's slave.
I suspect if St. Maximilian Kolbe
was still among us, he might ask each of us: “What have you done to serve the Truth and
to save souls?”
What would your response be?
