The Inner Life

On today’s show, Fr. Ryan Brady joins to share about St. Maximillian Kolbe: A Martyr of Charity

Jim - My wife and I were on a tour in Poland. I didn't know a lot about the complete history, but being in Auschwitz where that took place moved us so much. When you come out, you're in tears. Touched us a lot. We prayed for his intercession.

Break 1

Carol - I went to the shrine a little over a year ago. Had an experience with him to give my all to Mary.

Matt - I'm part of a group called the Kolbe prison ministry. One of my Kolbe brothers' dad was in Auschwitz and saw the whole thing. The details are pretty incredible. We're doing a fundraiser for our ministry and we're going to display some pictures of Kolbe.

My wife and I would pray for them all the time. We finally went over there and said sorry for whatever was our part. Everything changed after that. Never looked at them with anger after that.
