St. Maximilian Kolbe
While Raymond was still very young, Marianna instilled within him a deep love of the Blessed Virgin Mary and devotion to her by teaching him to pray the rosary and the Angelus. One day, when Raymond was acting less than saintly, Marianna scolded him, wondering aloud what would ever become of him. A dejected young Raymond went to kneel before a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary to ask her opinion on the matter.
