He was born in January 1894 and named Raymund Kolbe. When he was twelve years old, he had a vision of Mary. He said about it, That night I asked the Mother of God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one white, the other red. She asked me if I was willing to accept either of these crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity, and the red that I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both.Maximilian died on August 14, 1941. He was canonized by John Paul II in October 1982. John Paul II declared him to be a martyr.St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us!
