Since I'm on such a Mother Maria kick, I thought I'd post more quotes from her. She really is fantastic. A true theologian.
If you didn't read about her life, she was martyred for helping the Jewish people.
“There is no such thing as a Christian problem.
Don’t you realize that the battle is being waged
against Christianity? If we were true Christians
we would all wear the Star. The age of confessors
has arrived.” - Mother Maria
It amazes me, this quote. Imagine what would have happened if people had actually done this.
And even when she knew that the Gestapo were having her under surveillance, this quote is from her diary when asked why she wouldn't give up;
"There is one moment when you start burning with love and you have the inner desire to throw yourself at the feet of some other human being. This one moment is enough. Immediately you know that instead of losing you life, it is being given back to you twofold."
