Saint Maximillian Kolbe took the place of a man who had a wife and children to die with nine others as punishment because a prisoner had escaped Auschwitz, where Father Kolbe was being held. Ordained at 24, Father Kolbe was a Conventional Franciscan, who died at the hands of the Nazis in 1941. He was beatified in 1971 and canonized in 1982. He is the patron saint of addicts and those recovering from drug addiction. Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe, pray for us.
