"If you look at his photos, he often has a furrowed brow, his eyes looking at you as if full of fire... as if he wanted to set the whole world on fire."
— Fr. Francis Ching (Episode 1)
「如果你看他的照片,很多都是皺眉,雙眼好像很有火那樣去望著你,好像想把一些東西烙在你那裡一樣,好像想把這世界都燃起一樣。」
— 程明聰神父 (第一集)
Known as the "Martyr of Charity," Fr. Kolbe proved that there is no greater love than to lay down one's life for a friend. He stepped forward in Auschwitz to save a husband and father, showing that even in hellish conditions, love conquers all.
被稱為「愛德的殉道者」,高比神父證明了沒有一種愛比為朋友捨棄生命更偉大。他在奧斯威辛集中營挺身而出,拯救了一位丈夫和父親,展現出即使在人間地獄,愛依然能戰勝一切。
St. Maximilian believed the fastest, safest, and most effective way to become a saint was through Mary. He founded the Militia Immaculata to bring souls to Christ, relying completely on the Blessed Mother's intercession in every endeavor.
聖高比相信成聖最快、最安全、最有效的方法是透過聖母。他創辦了「無原罪聖母軍團」,完全依靠聖母的代禱,帶領靈魂歸向基督。
He was a pioneer in using modern media—magazines, radio, and printing presses—to spread the Gospel. He built entire "Cities of the Immaculata" in Poland and Japan because he deeply desired to win the whole world for God.
他是利用現代媒體(雜誌、電台和印刷機)傳播福音的先驅。他在波蘭和日本建立了「無原罪聖母之城」,因為他深切渴望為天主贏得全世界。
St. Maximilian fully surrendered his plans to God's will. Even in the face of abject poverty, the outbreak of war, and his eventual imprisonment, he trusted completely that the Immaculata was guiding his path for the greater glory of God.
聖高比將自己的計劃完全交託於天主的旨意。即使面對極度貧窮、戰爭爆發以至最後被囚禁,他依然深信無原罪聖母正帶領他的道路,為彰顯天主更大的光榮。
Despite suffering from severe tuberculosis for most of his adult life and facing overwhelming obstacles in his missionary work, he never gave up. He built monasteries and printed millions of magazines through sheer perseverance and grace.
雖然他成年後大半生都受嚴重的結核病折磨,並在福傳工作上面對重重障礙,但他從未放棄。憑著無比的堅忍和天主的恩寵,他建立了一座座修院並出版了數以百萬計的雜誌。
He boldly spoke the truth in a time of tremendous evil. By continuing to publish articles defending the Catholic faith during the Nazi occupation, he exercised a courageous prophetic voice, fully aware it could cost him his life.
在邪惡當道的時代,他勇敢地宣講真理。在納粹佔領期間,他繼續發表文章捍衛天主教信仰,發揮了先知般勇敢的聲音,即使他清楚知道這可能會令他喪失性命,他依然無畏無懼。

As a child, St. Maximilian chose both the white crown of purity and the red crown of martyrdom. In what small, daily ways are we called to live pure and sacrificially in our own modern lives?
童年時,聖高比選擇了象徵純潔的白冠和象徵殉道的紅冠。在現代的日常生活中,天主如何召叫我們在微小的事情上,活出純潔與刻苦犧牲的精神?
Fr. Kolbe passionately used the printing press and radio to share the Gospel. If he were alive today, how do you think he would use the internet or social media? How can we use today's technology for good rather than distraction?
高比神父熱衷於使用印刷機和電台分享福音。如果他今天仍然在世,你認為他會如何使用互聯網或社交媒體?我們該如何善用現今的科技來傳揚福音及行善,而不是使其成為分心的誘惑?
"Do not hate them... Love them. Love conquers evil," he told his fellow prisoners in Auschwitz. When faced with difficult people, injustice, or personal darkness, how hard is it to choose love over anger? How can St. Kolbe's example help?
「不要憎恨他們……愛他們。愛能戰勝邪惡。」他在奧斯威辛集中營這樣告訴其他囚犯。當面對難相處的人、社會的不公義或個人的黑暗面時,選擇愛而不是憤怒有多困難?聖高比的榜樣能如何幫助我們?
St. Maximilian offered his life to save a stranger who was a husband and father. While we may not be asked to physically die for someone, what is a specific, uncomfortable sacrifice you can make this week for the well-being of someone in your family or community?
聖高比獻出生命來拯救一個素未謀面的丈夫和父親。雖然我們未必需要為他人捨棄肉身的生命,但這個星期,你願意為家人或堂區/社區的福祉,作出甚麼具體而又需要一點刻苦與犧牲的行動?
