Franz Jaegerstaetter, Martyr [email protected] Deacon Community World War II Gave the Church many martyrs, among them St. Maximilian Kolbe, Paul & Darlene Dreismeier St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross (also known as St. Edith Stein), and today’s saint, Bl. Franz Jaegerstaetter, an Austrian farmer who refused to fight on behalf of Germa- Tim & Laurie McNeil ny. Bl. Jaegerstaetter opposed the Anchluss, or annexation, of Austria by Germany. Ed & Sheila Osterhaus He was drafted, trained, and then received deferments three times. However, when John Purk (Visiting Deacon) he was drafted in 1943 he refused to take a loyalty oath to Hitler, was imprisoned for Chuck & Pat Sheik six months and was then beheaded and cremated on August 9. His ashes were rebur- ied in 1946 and he was beatified in 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI. Don † & Pat Kemp There were Catholics in Germany and Austria who served in the Germany army. Bl. Skip † & Barb Baughman Jaegerstaetter’s own pastor and bishop also encouraged him to serve if drafted. He refused, telling his attorney: “I can only act on my own conscience. I do not judge anyone. I can only judge myself. I have considered my family. I have prayed and Parish Office 402-551-0269 put myself and my family in God’s hands. I know that, if I do what I think God wants Business Manager & me to do, he will take care of my family.” Director of Development The Catechism of the Catholic Church guides us with regards to conscience: “Deep within his conscience man discovers a law which he has not laid upon himself but Rose Flores which he must obey. It’s voice, ever calling him to love and to do what is good and to [email protected] avoid evil, sounds in his heart at the right moment…For man has in his heart a law Parish Secretary inscribed by God...His conscience is man’s most secret core and his sanctuary. Michelle Cheloha There he is alone with God whose voice echoes in his depths” (1776). “When he listens to his conscience, the prudent man can hear God speaking” (1777). We are [email protected] all called to form and follow our consciences just as Bl. Franz Jaegerstaetter did and Religious Education & let God Guide us and give us his grace to do his will.
