  • (30:37) Philip – Maximilian Kolbe – his great sacrifice which mirrors Jesus’s. The timing…July 1941. 14th of August he was injected with carbolic acid. For me…that heroic sacrifice is still life-giving. My death to sin…it brought me new life. That’s what the resurrection means to me.

  • Bradley – I was baptized on Easter. Before that, I’ve had 4 medical miracles. I came indirect contact with relics. Jesus’s nail, thorn, nail, wood, I picked them up…prayed…3 months later my wife was getting tested and I prayed and she was cured of hypertension. That’s why I became Catholic.
