Episode 6.1 St. Maximilian Kolbe

St. Maximilian Kolbe has emerged as one of the mostwell-known Twentieth Century Saints to have emerged from the horrors of World War II in Poland. His story of self-sacrifice for a fellow prisoner in Auschwitz has made him a symbol of selfless martyrdom and Christian care for another. His work before his martyrdom can be seen as one of the original“influencing” movements through his use of radio. Walk with us this month as we reflect on the life and significance of this saint in our current age.

From Chicago to Zakopane to Instagram

This month we tackle the influencing craze as we sitdown with Krystian Nowak, a Polish Highlander living near Zakopane in the gorgeous mountain region of Poland. A native of Chicago with Polish ancestry, Krystian has taken to social media as an influencer to promote Highlander culture in his own unique way. Influencing has become an internet craze for bad or for worse, yet perhaps the true value of it has been understood in only a narrow way. We tackle all of these topics in our great conversation this month. Check out Krystian’s work on his social media pages.

Episode 5.1 Blessed Bronislaw Markiewicz

“Boys will be boys” as the old cliché goes. Yet such apithy saying to excuse the mischievous or rambunctious nature of children,masks the undeserved circumstances that children around the world findthemselves subject to that may produce such a behavior. Poverty, ignorance, prejudice,and socioeconomic factors can squash the potential of children before they evenget the chance. Our Polish Saint of the Month, Blessed Bronislaw Markiewicz,recognized these factors and sought to do his best to alleviate them. Borrowingfrom the experiences of his own youth, during which he experienced a brief lapsein faith, he devoted his life to the care of the spiritual and material needsof disadvantaged children. Hear his story and reflect on this mission in hislife and today’s world in this month’s reflection. Music and sound effects courtesy of freesounds.org Nocturne Op.48 no. 2 in F sharp minor.

Episode 4.1 Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko

Regularlisteners to our Polish Saint of the Month reflection, are used to a particularformat. However, today we are going to do something a bit different. Since wehave already heard a lot about the life of Father Jerzy Popieluszko from ourinterview with Judith Kelly in our regular episode this month, we’re going tolisten to his own words from one of his homilies. The English Translation readwill be transposed overtop of a recording of Jerzy’s own delivery of thissermon as broadcasted originally in 1983. We invite you to listen to his wordsand reflect on their meaning both to the past listeners of this homily, butalso with your current ears to meditate on how these words may be speaking tous today. Prayer/Modlitwa O Lord, who in your infinite goodness,bestowed upon blessed Jerzy Popieluszko the grace of faith in priestly vocationuntil his martyred death, we beseech you in the words of John II: “May goodarise from this death like the Resurrection from the Cross”. Let ithappen, that this unshaken protector of the laws of God and man, given to ourFatherland and the world as a sign of victory of love over hatred, be a modelfor our life. Bestow upon me, through the intercession of Blessed Jerzy, thisfavor for which I profoundly petition You. May the sacrifice of life and hisintercession with you be the cause for growth of Christian faith, unity andpeace on earth. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Espionage, Love, and Murder: The Story of the Legendary WWII Spy Krystyna Skarbek with Historian Clare Mulley

In 1952, a dramatic headline broke the news of a tragic murder in a London Hotel. The victim was Krystyna Skarbek, aka Christine Granville, a wartime spy who’s remarkable achievements make her the stuff of legend. With exploits that would outdo any James Bond novel, Christine’s story was largely told through a particular lens that didn’t necessarily do her justice. That changed in 2012 with the publication of the book: “The Spy who Loved: the lives and loves ofChristine Granville” by Clare Mulley. Fresh from a tour publicizing her new book, Ms. Mulley sat down with the podcast to discuss the remarkable story of Christine Granville with us. Check out Clare Mulley’s work at her webpage: https://claremulley.com/ Musiccourtesy of freesounds.org and classicals.de Grande Valse Brillante Opus 18; ChopinNocture No.2 in E Flat major; Recorded, produced, andreleased to the public by: The Musopen Kickstarter Project - Set Chopin Free https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/Musopen/set-chopin-free Creative Commons -Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal CCPDM 1.0 Downford Abbey: Episode 2 (Lady Arabella's HiddenDesires) by Tomentum+ -- https://freesound.org/s/704825/ -- License:Attribution NonCommercial 4.0HopefulCinematic Emotional Orchestra Background Music by EvanBoyerman --https://freesound.org/s/753968/ -- License: Attribution 4.0
