Red Martyrdom: The Life and Sacrifice of St. Maximilian Kolbe

Red Martyrdom: The Life and Sacrifice of St. Maximilian Kolbe

Author: World Apostolate of Fatima, USA August 14, 2025 Duration: 33:33
In this second episode of the Fatima Today martyrdom series, hosted by Barb Ernster with Katie Moran, we look at “red martyrdom” giving one’s life for Christ. On his feast day, we share the inspiring story of St. Maximilian Kolbe: from his childhood vision of two crowns, one white for purity and one red for martyrdom — to his brave fight against evil through his love for the Blessed Mother. You’ll hear about his arrest for helping refugees, his time in Auschwitz, and the moment he offered to die in another man’s place. Even in the starvation bunker, his days were filled with prayer, song, and a deep peace that only God can give.   Stay tuned for the next episode — the touching story of Bl. Alexandrina da Costa, the “white martyr,” who offered her whole life to God through suffering.

In a world that often feels fragmented, Fatima Today offers a space for reflection and connection, rooted in a century-old message of peace. This podcast, presented by the World Apostolate of Fatima, USA, explores how the spiritual lessons from Fatima remain urgently relevant to our modern challenges. Each episode delves into contemporary issues-from personal anxiety and family life to broader social concerns-seeking pathways forward illuminated by faith, hope, and conversion. You’ll hear thoughtful discussions and insights that bridge timeless devotion with the realities of daily living, fostering a deeper understanding of Christian spirituality. Rather than offering simple answers, the conversations invite listeners into a meaningful examination of how to live with purpose and compassion today. Tune in to this thoughtful podcast for a series that feels both a comfort and a call to action, encouraging personal and communal renewal through the enduring promise of Fatima.
