Forget not love

While this heroic martyr's death is well known, the author shows Kolbe's whole life was one of extraordinary generosity in devotion to his ideal of "love without limits". Kolbe was that rare combination of mystic, intellectual genius, theologian and down-to-earth practicality. His tremendous creative energies (despite constant bout of tuberculosis and less than one lung) enhanced the lives of all those who knew him, the millions who read his publications, and the countless persons inspired by his example.
