While in Germany, Ken and I couldn't help thinking about its inglorious 20th century history. While not singling (sp?) out the Germans (each nation has its own shameful chapters), we couldn't help trying to imagine those hard and oppressive times. I often ask myself "Would I have gone along? Would I have spoken out?" I don't know the answer; I could only pray that I would have the faith and the courage.
We learned of one such hero who did witness to God's love and justice, someone who was new to us. Fr. Rupert Mayer. He lovingly served his congregation during two world wars and called the Nazi regime what it was: Godless. Please read about him. A book or a movie needs to be written about his witness. Ken?
