Aug 14 – Homily – Fr Jacinto: Heroic Death of St Maximilian

Homily #150814l ( 17min) Play - Fr. Jacinto gives an account of the heroic death of St. Maximilian, taking the place of a condemned man in the death camp Auschwitz. This was the ultimate following of Christ who took the place of us who were condemned. This heroic end to his life was the fruit of his Marian devotion, which took on world-wide missionary proportions, where he took her example as a perfect follower of Jesus.
