Kolbe Responds

Mother: Oh Raymond, Raymond, what's to become of you?  :(
Raymond: I'll stay pure & give my life; Our Lady says it's true.

Jesus: Father Maximilian Kolbe, if you love Me... feed my sheep!  :O
Priest: And I'll even share my soup, and my Auschwitz brothers-- keep.

Nazi: Prisoner number 16,670--- who are you?! :O
Fr. Kolbe: I am a Catholic priest! I have no family, too.



[Inspired by:
A Man for Others: Maximilian Kolbe --the Saint of Auschwitz-- in the Words of Those Who Knew Him book by Patricia Treece, + the M.I. movie
(not Mission Impossible, but the Militia of the Immaculata!)]
