“I give you a new commandment: love one another.” With these simple yet profound words from this Sunday's Gospel passage, Jesus gave us the greatest commandment—a call to live lives of deep compassion, selflessness, and courage. Few have lived out this command as powerfully as St. Maximilian Kolbe, a Catholic priest whose love broke through the darkness of World War II in one of history's most terrible places. In the cruel confines of the worst Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz, where hatred and despair seemed to rule, St. Maximilian Kolbe chose self-sacrificial Christian love. When a fellow prisoner, Franciszek Gajowniczek, was sentenced to die by starvation, Kolbe did the unthinkable. He stepped forward and offered his own life in exchange. He didn't do it for recognition or reward. He did it out of love—pure, Christ-like love for a stranger. This act was not just brave; it was holy. In that moment, Kolbe became a living reflection of Jesus, who laid down His life for us all. In a place meant to strip away human dignity, Kolbe's sacrifice declared that love still lives, even in the most hopeless of places. He showed that true love doesn't count the cost; it gives everything. As he led prayers and hymns in the starvation cell, bringing peace and light to those around him, Kolbe proved that love can triumph even in death. His final breath was not one of defeat, but of victory—the victory of love over fear, of faith over hatred. St. Maximilian Kolbe's legacy is a radiant beacon for all of us. His life challenges us to love more boldly, to give more freely, and to live not for ourselves, but for others. In a world that often values power and self-interest, Kolbe reminds us that the greatest strength is found in self-giving love. This heroic love is not rare or unreachable; it is the very heartbeat of the love Jesus Christ pours out for us each and every day. We don't need to journey to a far-off land or wait for a dramatic moment in history to experience it. This love, powerful and life-changing, is nearer than we think. It's as close as your local parish church, just a short drive away, waiting to welcome you with open arms. The Eucharist is a profound daily reminder of Jesus' self-sacrificial love. In every Mass, Christ offers Himself to us completely—His Body and Blood—just as He did on the cross. This gift is not just symbolic; it is real and personal, a continual act of love that nourishes our souls and calls us to do the same. Through the Eucharist, Jesus shows us how to live for others, to give without counting the cost, and to love with a heart that holds nothing back. It is both a gift and a challenge—to receive His love and then go out and share it with the world. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

In this conversation, Will Wright interviews Joshua Mazarin, author of 'Led by the Immaculata', exploring the profound themes of Marian consecration, the role of Mary in the life of the Church, and her unique relationship with the Holy Spirit. Joshua shares his inspiration for writing the book, the theological foundations of Marian devotion, and how it serves as a practical guide for living out one's faith. The discussion emphasizes the importance of entrusting oneself to Mary and understanding her as a mediator of grace, ultimately leading to a deeper relationship with Christ.St. Maximilian Kolbe is one of the most well-known and well-loved saints of all time. Many are familiar with the story of his selfless act at Auschwitz, where he sacrificed his own life to save a man who was a husband and father. But do you know about Kolbe's deep love for Mary, whom he called the Immaculata? How he surrendered everything to Our Lady to grow in holiness and align his will to the will of God? How he consecrated his life to Mary?In Led by the Immaculata, Joshua Mazrin, a Kolbe devotee and Mariology expert, will* introduce you to St. Maximilian Kolbe,* explain the meaning of consecration and the objectives of the Knights of the Immaculata,* walk you through the fourteen doable and practical steps of the consecration, and* provide a step-by-step plan for completing the consecration.Kolbe taught that by giving our lives completely to Mary, the Immaculata, she would direct our will to the will of the Holy Spirit—that is, the will of God. Kolbe wanted this message shared far and wide and so founded the Knights of the Immaculata with the goal of consecrating as many people as possible to Mary and her son.Each step of the consecration journey is explained in practical and theological terms, making it accessible to all, regardless of vocation or age. While Kolbe initially targeted men, the principles of holiness are equally relevant to women. The book concludes by empowering you—men and women alike—to be evangelists for the Immaculata and the Gospel and to be spiritual leaders in your family, workplace, and community.Led by the Immaculata invites you to embrace a deeper devotion to Mary and emulate Kolbe's path to holiness through the practical application of the fourteen steps in your daily life.Buy it today! - https://www.avemariapress.com/products/led-by-the-immaculataThanks for listening to Good Distinctions!

Jesus Makes Known His Commandment For Us: Love One Another As I Have Love You There are two components in this commandment. As I Have Love You . . . .Love One Another. After experiencing My Love for you, go and Love One Another. When we hear this commandment, the question is not whether God loves us or even how much God loves us. We know He loves us! God's love for us is immeasurable. But, . . . How much have we felt God's Love? Listen to this brief Gospel and Homily on the commandment God has given to us! Listen to: Jesus Makes Known His Commandment For Us: Love One Another As I Have Love You -------------------------------- Gospel Reading: Matthew: 18: 15-20 First Reading: EZ 9: 1-7, 10: 18-22 -------------------------------- Images: Savior of the World: Italian Artist: Leonardo da Vinci: 1510 Savior of the World's is also known as Salvator Mundi.

Er schließt mit einem Gebet, dass Gott dir den Mut und die Kraft gibt, Vertrauen wiederherzustellen und dein volles Potenzial zu entfalten.

Friends of the Rosary, Every August, we honor the two martyrs of Auschwitz: St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross and St. Maximilian Kolbe. We need to pray hard that we and our world don't return to the inhumanity of violence and war. The social acceptance of euthanasia and abortion puts us on the wrong track. Today, August 9, we celebrate the memorial of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942), Virgin and martyr, also known as St. Edith Stein. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland), she became a brilliant philosopher, a PhD, a teacher and lecturer at major universities in Germany, and a prolific writer. Captivated by the autobiography and the writings of Teresa of Avila, she converted to Catholicism and entered the Discalced Carmelites in 1933 in Echt, Netherlands. She was arrested by the Nazis when they occupied this country, along with all Catholics of Jewish extraction. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, were transported on a cattle train to the death camp of Auschwitz. She died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942.Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1987 and canonized in 1998. Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Pray for Us!

Friends of the Rosary, August is the month dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It's also the month of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother, when at the close of her earthly life, she was taken up, body and soul, into the glory of heaven. This solemnity falls on August 15th. In the upcoming weeks, we honor beloved saints, including St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Dominic, St. Bartholomew, St. Augustine, St. Monica, St. Clare, St. Rose of Lima, St. Pius X, and St. Lawrence. We add on August 5, Our Lady of Snow — la Virgen Blanca, and here will remember María Blanca, founder of the Rosary Network— and on August 22, Queenship of Mary. Feasts for August 1.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ         St. Maximilian Kolbe once said, “If angels could be jealous of men, they would be so for one reason: Holy Communion.” This Sunday we celebrate Corpus Christi. From the Catechism, the Eucharist assists Catholics in many ways: an increase of union with Christ; forgiveness of venial sins; preservation from future mortal sins; strengthening of the Church; helping the unity of the Church."O Christ, let my greatest delight be to see You loved and Your praise and glory proclaimed, especially the honor of Your mercy. O Christ, let me glorify Your goodness and mercy to the last moment of my life, with every drop of my blood and every beat of my heart. Would that I be transformed into a hymn of adoration of You. When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn glorifying Your unfathomable mercy. Amen." -St. Faustina

In this episode, my guest is Anthony D'Ambrosio, a director and screenwriter for the new film on St. Maximilian Kolbe, Triumph of the Heart. We discuss how the saints can bring you back from the brink of despair and hopelessness to deep faith amidst the darkest times in your life. Anthony shares his story that begins with a debilitating infection, insomnia, and practical atheism to finding St. Maximilian Kolbe and ultimately creating a high-end motion picture about his last days in Auschwitz. If you do not know St. Maximilian Kolbe, you have to listen to this episode. If you do know him, you will not want to miss this conversation as well as this movie!
