"Only Love Creates" - St. Maximilian Kolbe
Today is his feast day because in 1941 he volunteered to die in the place of another prisoner (who he didn't know) in the Auschwitz death camp.
But he didn't just randomly get the grace to do this - although I'm sure the amount of grace pumping through him that day was glorious - he lead of life of love. A love that grew and strengthened until he could do the most loving act possible, to lay down his life for another.
