HEROIC VIRTUE

St. Maximilian Kolbe, languishing in a Nazi prison camp, offered his life for a man who was condemned to death. Even the religious world would counsel against this act as rash. After all, a priest is more valuable to the kingdom of God than any layperson, right? But God’s ways are not our ways, and Kolbe chose the path of heroic virtue in obedience to the Spirit of God.
