Can anyone explain on this thread Kolbe's referring to the Holy Spirit as the uncreated (Divine) Immaculate Conception? Does he mean this in some allegorical way? Or as a poetic parallelism? Or--- what?

Obviously I am baffled. I read his book on it many years ago, but I could not comprehend his concept.

Anyone who responds: please do in simple terms... :o)

From my returning Pilgrimage thread so you don't have to go through all of it. LOL!

I would recommend the book "A Man for Others" by Patricia Treece that is a very readable biography of his life. (I am reading it now.) He suffered in silence most of his life and then gave his life for another person at Auschwitz. More about that

St. Maximillian erected a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary outside of the wooden chapel where we had Mass -- first thing he did when he arrived. For more pictures of their humble beginnings, get the book, "A Man for Others."
