When push comes to shove, and we face hardship or even starvation in the presence of strangers, I hope that we can follow the example of St. Maximilian Kolbe, and lead each other in singing hymns instead of screaming.

"No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves?"

- Saint Maximilian Kolbe
