SUMMARY:Saint Maximilian
DESCRIPTION:Saint Maximilian\nSaint of the Day for March 14\n(274 – March 12\, 295)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODMar14.mp3\nSaint Maximilian’s Story\nWe have an early\, precious\, almost unembellished account of the martyrdom of Saint Maximilian in modern-day Algeria. \nBrought before the proconsul Dion\, Maximilian refused enlistment in the Roman army saying\, “I cannot serve\, I cannot do evil. I am a Christian.” \nDion replied: “You must serve or die.” \nMaximilian: “I will never serve. You can cut off my head\, but I will not be a soldier of this world\, for I am a soldier of Christ. My army is the army of God\, and I cannot fight for this world. I tell you I am a Christian.” \nDion: “There are Christian soldiers serving our rulers Diocletian and Maximian\, Constantius and Galerius.” \nMaximilian: “That is their business. I also am a Christian\, and I cannot serve.” \nDion: “But what harm do soldiers do?” \nMaximilian: “You know well enough.” \nDion: “If you will not do your service I shall condemn you to death for contempt of the army.” \nMaximilian: “I shall not die. If I go from this earth\, my soul will live with Christ my Lord.” \nMaximilian was 21 years old when he gladly offered his life to God. His father went home from the execution site joyful\, thanking God that he had been able to offer heaven such a gift. \n\nReflection\nIn this celebration we find one inspirational son and one incredible father. Both men were filled with strong faith and hope. Let’s ask them to help us in our struggle to remain faithful.
