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.

Jesus flips tables in our lives but he does it gently.

 
Break 1

 
Training yourself to be more “other” focused

 
Theresa – This is what I'm struggling with trying to be meek and mild. I have a living situation that calls for a lot of patience. I've talked to this with my priest during confession.

 
Tom - Situation with my neighbor. Meekness played into it. Lasted years. Wife of neighbor and myself...her kids could do no wrong and always pitting their kids against ours. 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.

 
Break 2

 
Angela – I forgave the woman my husband had an affair with during my pregnancy

 
John - Incident between me and my son. It was so hard for me to talk to him. Went to a priest and had to wait. While waiting, there were two men yelling at each other like my son and I did. It opened my eyes and realized I should not carry on that way.
