Maximilian Kolbe
January 8, 1894 – August 14, 1941
Father Maximilian Maria Kolbe was born Rajmund Kolbe to a working-class family. he son of a Polish mother and German father, he attended a trade school as a child and in 1912 moved to Krakow to begin his training as a seminarian. In 1914 he took vows as a monk and in 1915 received a doctorate in philosophy at the Pontifical Gregorian University.
Later in 1919 he received a doctorate in theology from St. Bonaventure University and returned to Poland, which had just regained its independence. Understanding the power of the media, he created a magazine to become the voice of the Militia of Mary Immaculate.
At the end of 1920, he convinced the ecclesiastical authorities to allow him to leave for Asia in order to finance missionary centers in Japan, China and India. He left Poland in 1930, accompanied by other Franciscan friars, with no money, no knowledge of Asian languages or culture. Only a month after his arrival in Nagasaki (Japan), he launched the first printing of the Knight of the Immaculate Conception, in Japanese, with a print run of 10,000 copies. Within a few years, circulation tripled and he purchased land for a future monastery and publishing house on the outskirts of the city. The self-funded monastery still exists, as does the Japanese version of his magazine, Seibo no Kishi.
Maximilian Kolbe created and used a unique business model, which has been called the “economy of gratitude” and is still in use today. His magazine was distributed free of charge. For this reason he is considered the patron saint of entrepreneurs, although other groups such as altruistic radio operators, political prisoners and pro-life movements strongly identify with his causes.
State-of-the-art technology helped him spread the Gospel. His printing presses were among the most modern in Europe. Foreseeing the media revolution, Father Kolbe also launched Radio Niepokalanów, which began broadcasting in 1938. In September 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union invaded Poland. The German occupation brought persecution and ethnic selection. Most of the friars were ordered to return home and those who remained in place, including Father Kolbe, were arrested, although they were later released.
In February of 1941, the monastery was closed by the Germans and the printing presses were sent to Germany, when it was learned that Jews were being protected there. Father Kolbe and four other monks were arrested and imprisoned in Pawiak prison. In May, he was transferred to Auschwitz, where he died voluntarily, by lethal injection, taking the place of a father of a family who had been imprisoned and condemned. He was beatified by Paul VI on October 17, 1971 and canonized by John Paul II on October 10, 1982.
St. Maximilian Kolbe exemplifies the union of virtue and hard work in extraordinary business and professional achievement.
