I got choked up as I told my husband and children about him at dinner tonight, and I swore I was going to do some more research about his life. And then your post popped up! Thanks, Jenny.

I really like the emphasis on living this moment now, rather than worrying about the future. I would definitely like to be better at that!Catholic Mutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254315970336710941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-44902720214931804122014-08-13T04:13:52.879-06:002014-08-13T04:13:52.879-06:00Great post!

I was lucky enough to meet "Mr. G", the man whose life he saved when he came to talk at our church when I was a teenager. He stayed at our home, and was such a saintly man himself. He devoted his life to spreading the word about St. Maximillian Kolbe. My mom even kept the sheets he slept on as a relic :)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451797365712728579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-52928906114285757362014-08-12T14:03:29.991-06:002014-08-12T14:03:29.991-06:00Great post Jenny!!

St. Max was our family patron saint growing up; now I have a deeper relationship with him as I daily ask his intercession for my husband's healing of addiction.<br />I'm going to to go to Auschwitz and see the cell he was killed in when our group goes to Poland for WYD in 2016. I am amazed I'll get to be where he was martyred...Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900413545108321127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-24308480176108514852014-08-12T13:41:58.432-06:002014-08-12T13:41:58.432-06:00Thanks for the reminder.
