A View From the Rectory Window
On July 29, 2016, Pope Francis walked in the footsteps of his two predecessors as he visited the former
extermination camp at Auschwitz. During his visit, Pope Francis paid silent homage to the more than one
million victims, mostly Jews, who perished there during the Holocaust.
Right before his visit, Francis said he “would like to go to that place of horror without speeches, without
crowds.” He said he intended to go “alone, enter, pray,” adding, “and may the Lord give me the grace to
cry.”
Francis was the third pope to visit Auschwitz. Pope John Paul II visited on June 7, 1979, declaring “No
more war!” and “Only peace!” Pope Benedict XVI, who as a young man was inducted unwillingly into the
Hitler Youth and the German Army, went on May 28, 2006, and asked: “Why, Lord, did you remain
silent? How could you tolerate this?”
Francis made his way to the infamous Block 11, an inconspicuous brick building where Nazi guards had
tortured prisoners.
The pope entered the basement, which housed 28 dark cells. He stopped in a cell that had once housed
Father Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish priest who volunteered to die in place of a stranger in 1941 and was
canonized in 1982. Francis sat in a chair in the middle of the cell, bent his head and prayed for some time.
Leaving the cell of Father Kolbe, Francis, the first pope from Latin America, signed the Auschwitz guest
book, writing in Spanish: “Lord, have mercy on your people. Lord, forgive so much cruelty.”
In this Holy Year of Mercy, in a world that is still beset with so much terror and unimaginable acts of
cruelty, on the 14th of August, crowds will gather at the former concentration camp of Auschwitz, near
Krakow, Poland. They will commemorate the 75th anniversary of Father Maximilian Kolbe’s heroic death,
judged by the Church to be a “martyrdom of charity.” When the Nazis accepted Maximilian Kolbe’s offer
to die in place of another prisoner, little could they have known the impact that Fr. Kolbe’s supreme act of
charity and mercy would have. An age desperately needing signs of God’s love would see in
Fr. Maximilian’s sacrifice a witness to the loving mercy of God, still alive and operative in the world.
May Saint Maximilian Kolbe continue to pray for us and inspire us.

MERCY CORNER
The Pharisees saw this and said to His
disciples, “Why does your teacher eat
with tax collectors and sinners?”
He heard this and said, “Those who are
well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go
and learn the meaning of the words, ‘I desire mercy, not
sacrifice.’ I did not come to call the righteous but sinner.”
Matthew 9:11-13
God, who is merciful, desires our mercy. Following are some
ways to practice mercy during this Jubilee Year. Try to
randomly select one act each week and put it into practice.
1. Take the Eucharist to the homebound in your
community.
2. Lead a bible study at a local prison.
3. Volunteer with a hospice program.
