A sign, a witness, to the world

Pope: saints and martyrs, antithesis to hell death camps and contemporary nihilism

"Edith Stein, Maximilian Kolbe, St. Pontian, St. Lawrence, all martyrs are a sign of the true face of God and the true face of man. Those who "forget God" build lagers and death camps, symbols of "hell on earth". The martyrs are models for everyone, but especially for priests in this Year dedicated to them. "
