Good Morning,
Today is the Feast Day of one of my favorite saints---Saint Maximilian Kolbe --- whose National Shine is located at Marytown, which is only fifteen miles from my house. There Chapel is a replica of St. Paul Outside the Wall, located in Rome, Italy.
Run by the Franciscans, beautiful grounds, a fantastic Catholic Book Store --- well with a visit. On Highway 176 in Mundelein, Il.

Saint Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941)
He was a Conventual Franciscan priest who spread devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary through printing and radio in Japan and Gus native Poland. He was martyred in Auschwitz.

Here's a short paragraph from a letter he wrote:
"The Most Holy Virgin Mary is not a fairy tale or a legend, but a living being who loves each one of us.
Yet, she is not sufficiently known, and her love is not reciprocated enough. Accordingly, it is necessary to announce her loving work everywhere, and that can be achieved quite well by means of the magazine."
Peace,
Grandpazach
