Priest Maximilian Kolbe

 Priest Maximilian Kolbe

We learn from the writings of Viktor E. Frankl about the manner that there is a distinction between the two paths that individuals can take. Viktor E. Frankl described that while Sigmund Freud stated that everyone when presented with circumstances would act exactly the same, the reality is that each individual has the option to decide if they want to be good or not. There is the choice to decide to persevere practicing righteousness instead of decreasing in the practice of iniquity.

We learn that Priest Maximilian Kolbe was persecuted by Nazi socialists and yet did not renounce his faith. We learn that he was an individual that was persecuted for being a priest and choosing the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that the false philosophies of hate describing Nazi socialism attempted to envy and persecute individuals based on ethnicity. We learn that while persisting through persecution, Priest Maximilian Kolbe persevered choosing the worship of GOD Almighty. We learn that he was persecuted in Aushwitz, yet never renounced his faith.

We learn that Viktor E. Frankl described that there were individuals in the concentration camps that decided to practice righteousness despite circumstances and obstacles allowing us to know that each individual has the choice to decide if they want to improve and be righteous or not. We learn that decisions and not conditions make individuals. This describes that we can not believe the temporary lies of evil that tries to say that “everyone practices sin”. This is not true knowing that there are righteous individuals that have existed that allow us to know that it is possible to be righteous and persevere.

We learn about righteous individuals that did not practice sin and vices and were able to persevere. We learn that there were individuals that were persecuted, and yet did not renounce their faith in GOD Almighty. We learn that Viktor E. Frankl was an individual that was persecuted and still kept instructing wisdom, responsibility, goodness, and perseverance. We are able to know that even when there are temporary lies by evil that try to cause discouragements, we can persevere acknowledging that each individual has the choice to decide if they are going to choose the path of righteousness worshiping GOD Almighty that leads to eternal salvation or not.
