In 1930, he founded a friary in Nagasaki (still active) amid seemingly impossible challenges and hardships with the help of the Immaculata. This book was written by a Japanese Franciscan Conventual Friar, Brother Ozaki, who, in 1945, entered the same friary founded by St. Maximilian – just two months after Nagasaki was blasted by the atomic bomb. Brother Ozaki resided with the friars who personally knew and lived with St. Maximilian and who highly admired the saint’s heroic act of martyrdom for a fellow prisoner. This engaging book tells of these friars’ endearing experiences and memories of St. Maximilian during those six years – sure to stir interest not only in this heroic saint – but also Our Lady.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLearn the following:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Fr.

This deed was the sign of his profound love and glorious life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust five years earlier, Father Kolbe was in Nagasaki where he had lived and worked for six years.
