131 “For Freedom Christ Has Set Us Free”—St. Paul (Life of Bl. Franz Jägerstätter.)

That gives us our dignity and our responsibility. I share the story of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter, and Austrian farmer who died a martyr under the Nazi government during the Second World War for not wanting to enlist in the German army. Listen in to be inspired by this simple yet great saint!
