|August 28, 2025
"GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS, THAN TO LAY DOWN ONE'S LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS"- JESUS CHRIST [JOHN 15:13]
The 84th anniversary of the death of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe—a Polish Franciscan priest who, during the Second World War, volunteered to die in place of a fellow prisoner, Franciszek Gajowniczek (a father of two, condemned to starve to death in the infamous “Death Bunker” at the Nazi concentration and extermination camp of Auschwitz), in order to save that prisoner’s life—fell on August 14, 2025.
St. Maximilian Kolbe was no stranger to Sri Lanka. During his missionary journeys to and from Japan, China and India, he visited the Island (then known as Ceylon) in 1930, 1932 and 1933.

Climate change is no longer a future threat; it is a present danger. With the island facing a surge in extreme rainfall and crippling heatwaves -threatening food security and livelihoods- there is simply no time to waste.
