Maxaimilian Kolbe

What do you think about my maxaimilian kolbe edit? worked REALLY hard. Here it is.

Maximilain was born in Poland, 1894. As a boy he would go to school and get in fights a lot with his older brother, Francis. When Francis decided to join the seminary, Maximilain had to drop school and help his father out at the shop so that they could support the family. One day when he was coming in form playing out side his mother took on glance at him and said, “How did you get so dirty what am I going to do with you?!” This really set him off. He thought that his mother was saying that he was so bad so disobedient that, she had no idea what she was going to do. Literally. Soon after that his mother heard a sob form Max's room. She went in there to find him crying. When she asked what was wrong he said that he had been praying to Mary and that she had shown him to crowns, one white, the other red. She asked him to pick one Maximilain said that he chose both. Ha also said that the white one meant that he would always be pure and the red one sent that he would be a martyr. Later Maximilain and his older brother both entered the minor seminary. When he was asked what he was going to do with his life he said that he would help other people he wasn't quite sure actually. When his parents decided to devote their life to God he thought it a sign and deiced he would try to join the Franciscans. In 1915 war broke out and Europe was drenched in blood. Around 1915, he went on a tour and saw where Mary appeared to and converted Alphonse Ratisbone. When he had done this he was sure that he wanted to be a night of Mary. But very soon after he was diagnosed with tuberculoses. He was sent to a better climate for his health. After his health had improved he told his friends that he wanted to start the Immaculate militia. He was ordained a priest on April 28. The next year WWI ended and Maximilian earned his degree in philosophy. He went back to Cracow and said he was going to start a magazine. He started it and had problems right away. The biggest one: no money. He prayed to Mary and the next day he found on the alter a envelope with enough money to pay the bills. It read, “From my dear mother, the immaculate. After that things went very smoothly. Soon after they got a new monastery in Niepokalanow. I do not know where that is. But anyway there they did very well. They were full of ideas to spread the faith. They used many methods to get the gospel out like airplanes. They were thriving. After he saw how well they were doing he told one of friends one day that he was going to Japan. He asked why his response was: “The immaculate conception wants me to go.” It took a while but the soupier finally gave him permission. Months later the missionaries arrived in Japan. There were about sixty thousand catholics in Japan. He spent some time in Japan teaching but most of it preaching. He did not know that the very city he was in, Nagasaki, would soon fall to a blow of a massive bomb. They built monasteries and increased the number of catholics. Meanwhile Hitler was gaining power. He went to Russia, Siberia, and India, too. But I 1936, he was called back Poland. He went back to Niepokalanow where they started their own radio station. In 1938, his paper reached one million copies. He wrote many books. He was doing great but... war broke out in 1939. Thousands of germen troops invaded Poland and the country was powerless. When many of the missionaries left he stayed there to help the wounded. The Germans came and took poor Maximilian with them to a prison camp. But soon after he was released and brought back to his town. But it was destroyed. When they rebuilt it miraculously the Germans let them publish a newspaper. Of course after they saw what was in they cut them off. They again captured him and out him in a death camp. Because he was a priest they were very brutal to him. He gave away what little food he had and heard confessionals when he could. A week later one of the prisoners escaped and as was custom, they were going to execute ten people if they did not find him. And they didn't. An officer came out and took ten people from the crowd of prisoners. One man fell to his knees and begged mercy. He had a wife and kids and even though he probably would ever see them again anyway, he still had hope. Maximilian took his place because he wanted to. In the starvation chamber they were singing hymns of praise to God. Maximilian was the last one to die. On October 10th 1982 Maximilian was proclaimed a saint. The prisoner Gajownczek who's life he had saved was there to see it. The end.

Re: why

The summary needs to be removed because it's not appropriate for the article. In Wikipedia, we offer short summaries at the beginning of articles and go into detail as you read farther along. Having yet another summary of the information that was just read (or of things that should have been put into their proper sections instead of a big "sum-up") is at best useless. That's not to say that your hard work isn't appreciated, but what you did just isn't appropriate for Wikipedia's standards of article writing. You can find more information about that here.
