Dearest...
On the occasion of the feast of Saint Maximilian, I wish to extend to you my greetings, which arise from a reflection I would like to share with each of you. Maximilian Kolbe found himself, like all of us, living in a "change of era" from which, also due to new technological and scientific discoveries, a new vision of man and God was emerging and, consequently, a different approach to religion and the Church.
