Saint Maximilian Kolbe

On Aug. 14, we celebrate the feast of one of the greatest Marian saints in the history of the Catholic Church: St. Maximilian Kolbe. He was killed at Auschwitz when he volunteered to take the place of one man, a husband and a father, who had been chosen for execution. Father Donald Calloway, MIC, shares the story of this remarkable saint, a Martyr of Charity and a Knight of the Holy Rosary. Then hear the story of Redbird Ministries, a grief support group that provides healing to those who have lost loved ones to suicide.

Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
