St. Maximilian Kolbe and the Two CrownsThese Last Days News - August 19, 2013

St. Maximilian Kolbe and the Crown of Martyrdom...

"You must instruct and bring to your children the knowledge of your saints. Their example is in the light, My children. Those you have set up to idolize upon earth now are the creations of satan. You must accept and follow the example of your saints, those who have been given this honor by your holy Church. They, too, My child, did not win their crowns without trial, rejection, and often, martyrdom." - Jesus, June 5, 1975

Ascending Mount Carmel reported on August 13, 2013:

"For Jesus Christ, I am prepared to suffer still more." -St. Maximilian Kolbe

In his youth, St. Maximilian Kolbe, the great Franciscan saint and martyr of the 20th century, was asked by the Blessed Virgin Mary whether he would prefer the crown of purity or the crown of martyrdom - in his own words, he writes that "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 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."1

This raises the question in my mind, one I think should be thought upon by every serious Christian - if we proclaim Christ in our lives, are we also ready to proclaim Him in our deaths?  In Syria and in Egypt, as I write, Christians are pdying for their faith.  Are we, in the West, ready to do the same?  If ever we were told to renounce Christ or face death, would we do so?  And further, if proclaiming Christ in our lives meant our deaths, would we still do it?

I think, in our culture in the West, it is a question that is not much thought of.  Though we face all manner of subtle persecutions in secular North American culture, the worst we generally face in any given day is a few mockeries of our faith, or a general sense of derision towards it.  But in other places in the world, those who profess Christ are threatened with death for doing so.  The martyrdom of Christians has never ceased since the beginnings of the Church, nor do I think will it until the return of Christ.  If we look to the great saints of the Church, they speak without fear of martyrdom for the sake of Christ.  St. Therese of Lisieux, startlingly, said that "to be a martyr is what I long for most of all."2  But how would this ever play out in my own life?  I am terrified of the thought as much as, I imagine, most others who consider it if even for a moment.  Fear is a powerful force, if it is allowed through the door of the heart - and though it can be driven out by the sweetness and consolation of Christ, it must be rooted out thoroughly through love, for where love is, there fear cannot be (cf. 1 John 4:18). 

Now, with St. Maximilian Kolbe, we find an exemplar in this regard (along with a thousand others).  Here we have a Franciscan saint who willingly stood defiant in the face of danger and of evil, for the sake of Christ, knowing it meant his death for doing so.

For the sake of Christ, he endured every punishment doled out to him by the ruthless Nazi guards that populated Auschwitz.  For the sake of Christ, he risked death hearing confessions and saying Mass.  For the sake of Christ, he expended himself for the sake of others.  Because St. Maximilian lived out the Gospel as a true follower and imitator of Christ, he did not even remotely hesitate to offer his life in place of the other prisoner who was randomly selected in the Nazi death camp of Auschwitz to die by starvation due to another prisoner's having escaped - again, for the sake of Christ.

There was no hesitation.  By his death for the sake of another, he was able to show to the world, even the members of the heartless Nazi regime, that blessed is the man who lays down his life for his friends in imitation of the Master.

"My child, you will make it known that Our children upon earth must speak often in the spirit with the good souls who are waiting to join them. Ask and they shall receive guidance.
     "In human understanding, My child, it must be made known to mankind that your saints who are now in the heavens, in the Kingdom of your Father, they have full knowledge of the trials of earth and mankind, and therefore will be of great solace to you. Learn by their example. They did not seek the treasures of the world, but they truly sought to store these graces of treasures in the Kingdom.”
Our Lady, November 1, 1975

Our Lady of  the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/  
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

LEARN THEIR EXAMPLE
"My child, you will make it known that Our children upon earth must speak often in the spirit with the good souls who are waiting to join them. Ask and they shall receive guidance.
     "In human understanding, My child, it must be made known to mankind that your saints who are now in the heavens, in the Kingdom of your Father, they have full knowledge of the trials of earth and mankind, and therefore will be of great solace to you. Learn by their example. They did not seek the treasures of the world, but they truly sought to store these graces of treasures in the Kingdom.” – Our Lady, November 1, 1975 

INSTRUCT CHILDREN
"You must instruct and bring to your children the knowledge of your saints. Their example is in the light, My children. Those you have set up to idolize upon earth now are the creations of satan. You must accept and follow the example of your saints, those who have been given this honor by your holy Church. They, too, My child, did not win their crowns without trial, rejection, and often, martyrdom." – Jesus, June 5, 1975 

33RD DEGREE
Veronica--There is a degree of freemasonry that means witchcraft. The person must become Luciferian.... The individual in the 33rd degree to make himself, prove himself worthy to be a true Luciferian, he must murder another person.... Therefore, to follow Lucifer, these Luciferians insist, to become a 33rd degree Mason, you must follow through in this secret rite and ritual of witchcraft. - November 25, 1978

A MASSIVE PLOT
Veronica - Our Lady says that you must be made aware of the terrible trials now upon earth. Your children are in great danger to fall into the web now being spun by satan through the measures of, Our Lady said, freemasonry and communism. This web is one of evil. It is a massive plot. It has been planned many years ago but placed in practice now. – November 1, 1977

THIS ABOMINABLE ORGANIZATION
"My children, and I ask My pastors to listen to Me as your Mother, as I tell you that you must take yourselves from all secret societies. They do not openly plot against My Son's Church, but they do this in secret! The Masons, My children--the hierarchy must remove themselves from this abominable organization." - Our Lady, June 1, 1978

FREEMASONS SONS OF SATAN
"I, Michael, guardian of the House of God, give fair warning to all cardinals and bishops in all houses upon earth, churches, that you must set to rights the damage that you have created, the damage that has destroyed many souls.
     "It will be a command of the Father from Heaven that all in authority defrock and excommunicate those under their rule who seek to destroy the Faith as given by the Father from Heaven.
     "Speak, my child; speak now as I have directed you. There is a major law in the Faith of Jesus Christ that none shall enter into secret societies of the Masons. The sons of satan are rulers, known by the name of Freemasons. All who join this heinous--"
Veronica - Oh! Oh, my goodness! Oh!
St. Michael - "All who join this secret society will immediately be condemned to the abyss forever.
     "Those in rule will excommunicate and defrock all who enter and make pact with the separated brethren and who will compromise the Faith with the separated brethren.
     "The Book of life and love, the Bible--man has rewritten this Book to deceive mankind. He will deceive those who are not in the light. Recognize the faces of evil. By their fruits will they be known. They will come to you as angels of light; but they are ravenous wolves, placing themselves in strategic positions of power to seduce mankind and destroy the Church of Jesus Christ.” – August 21, 1974 

BOOKS OF TRUTH
"My children, why do you not learn the value of suffering? The books of truth have been removed from among you. You must read the lives of the founders of My Son's House and those great saints who cry in Heaven for vengeance upon satan and his agents--now! For many souls are being taken into the abyss.” – Our Lady, February 10, 1974 

CROWNS OF JOY
"There will be many saints coming out of the great tribulation. They will be called the latter-day saints, My children. There are crowns of joy, stars, and lights awaiting many who will come over the veil as martyrs.” – Our Lady, December 6, 1975 

LIVES OF THE SAINTS
"The greatest trials are given, My children, to those who are on the narrow road to the Kingdom. You must all learn the value of suffering. The Eternal Father allows this for reason. If you will study the past lives of your saints, My children, you will understand why I say that penance and suffering are truly the way of the cross.” – Our Lady, October 2, 1976 

MAKE KNOWN
"You will ask Our children of good spirit to make known the lives of those who have gone before you, known as the saints. They have given good examples for your children. Satan wishes to take them from the minds and hearts of your children. Go, seek out the books of truth that still retain these stories of truth of these departed souls, those who have given themselves to the Eternal Father during their lifetime upon your earth.” – Our Lady, August 5, 1975 

POWER OF PRAYER
“The power of prayer has made saints from sinners. All who have joined Our little armies throughout your era will stand forth, and many will carry heavy crosses. They will follow the road of My Son.” – Our Lady, October 2, 1972 

FIRES OF SUFFERING
"These are the days spoken of and written of through countless years of earth's times. These are the latter days, and there will be a crucible of suffering. The saints shall come out of the fires of suffering.” – Jesus, July 25, 1977 

FULL DEDICATION
"Full dedication is the road to purity, sanctification, and sainthood, My child. There will be many latter-day saints created. But there is a price for it, My child. Remember this when the thorns are heavy and piercing." – Jesus, November 20, 1978 

CRYING FOR VENGEANCE
"The saints and those who were washed clean by the blood of martyrdom, they join all in Heaven crying for vengeance against deceitful mankind and the abominations that offend the Eternal Father--abominations in the House of God!” – St. Michael, September 13, 1974 

“ONCE AMONG YOU”
"You see, My children, these are the saints in Heaven. They were once among you, and have won their crowns through perseverance, prayer, and sacrifice. Their example should be followed, for they will lead you to the Kingdom of God the Father, the eternal Kingdom of joy, peace, and reward--a reward far beyond all that your human mind could comprehend, My children.” – Our Lady, May 17, 1975 

YOUR LIFE ETERNAL
"Your years upon your earth are very short, My children. Do not sacrifice your life eternal; do not sacrifice your entrance into the Kingdom of Paradise, the Eternal Father and the saints, the angels, and all who have received the light and treasured this light on the road to Heaven.” – Our Lady, September 28, 1976 

Reflection: Read the lives of the Saints, and you will find yourself living amid company to whose standards you will be forced to raise, at least in some measure, your own in your daily life.

Veronica - Our Lady now is rising very high up into the sky, and She's--now the sky is becoming very, very bright, very bright, and Our Lady is pointing upward with Her hand, and there is a tremendous white cross now forming in the sky. It's a brilliant cross. And now--it's a large cross, but behind it, I see many, many smaller crosses. They are also white. It's like a field, a whole field of crosses.
Our Lady - "My child, you are observing many who shall wear the white robes in Heaven. Many martyrs shall be made, My child, in the days ahead. Many shall gain their crowns through suffering. It is truly the way of the cross, My child, to Heaven. Do not let a moment go by, My child, without using, without putting your suffering to good cause." - September 14, 1976

Jesus - "Pray and wear your sacramentals. And, also, My children, I ask you again to place a crucifix upon your door. Both front and back doors must have a crucifix. I say this to you because there will be carnage within your areas, and this will pass you by if you keep your crucifix upon your doors."

On September 13, 1977, She said, "He has an army of ogres wandering now throughout your country and all of the countries of the world. They are in possession of great power; so wear your sacramentals, and protect your children and your households. Learn the use every day of holy water throughout your household. Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
