Nagasaki: St Maximillian Kolbe Museum part 1
St Maximillian Kolbe has been one of my favourite saints since childhood. I was very excited to be in one of the monasteries that he founded and look around his museum.

Nagasaki, the Atomic Bomb, and the Garden of the Immaculata
On August 9th of 1945, the nation of Japan was changed forever as the atomic bomb landed in Nagasaki.
At the time home to an estimated population of 240,000 people, the atomic bomb took the lives of over 73,000 people in the port city of Nagasaki.
The blast left 75,000 injured and over 120,000 homeless as it completely leveled everything within a 6.7-kilometer radius of the epicenter. The atomic bomb left a wake of devastation that the World should be careful never to forget.
Mugenzai No Sono, known by Catholics as the Garden of the Immaculata, is home to a Franciscan Monastery founded by Saint Maximilian Kolbe.
Seeing the Lourdes-like grotto, Kolbe was inspired to build the monastery in that location. The Polish priest would return to Europe before the outbreak of World War II and ultimately die in a concentration camp at the hands of the Nazi regime.
The location of the monastery made it an ideal location to shelter survivors from the fallout of the atomic bomb, and as a result, many lives were saved in the days after the bomb landed.
Modern-day Nagasaki is a decidedly Catholic place. Its tourism industry is built around it's interwoven history with Catholicism. Home to the memorial of the Twenty Six Martyrs of Japan, the Franciscan Monastery of Mugenzai No Sono, and several beautiful churches Nagasaki is a breathtaking place filled with charming people who have lost so much and yet care greatly for others.
As a Catholic, the place holds a special place for me. As a member of Humanity, it stands as a reminder of both our resilience and our capacity for evil. May we never forget. I pray there will never again be a moment in history like the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Nagasaki in Japan Japanology 長崎市
Nagasaki (長崎市 Nagasaki-shi, Japanese: [naɡaꜜsaki]) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu in Japan. The city's name, 長崎, means Long Cape in Japanese. Nagasaki became a centre of colonial Portuguese and Dutch influence in the 16th through 19th centuries, and Churches and Christian Sites in Nagasaki have been proposed for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Part of Nagasaki was home to a major Imperial Japanese Navy base during the First Sino-Japanese War and Russo-Japanese War.
During World War II, the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made Nagasaki the second and, to date, last city in the world to experience a nuclear attack.
As of 1 March 2017, the city has an estimated population of 425,723 and a population density of 1,000 people per km². The total area is 406.35 km2 (156.89 sq mi)

Nagasaki: Miraculous grotto
This is the Lourdes grotto in Nagasaki built by St Maximillian Kolbe in the 1930's. To it is attributed the healing miracle of Dr. Takashi Nagai. It is a short, torturous Uphill hike from the monastery.
Worth the walk.

Apostles of Mercy Sister Faustina and Father Maximilian Kolbe (日本語 Japan)
While it may seem a long time away, the 31st World Youth Day (WYD) will take place in summer 2016 in Kracow, Poland. Thousands of young people around the world are preparing the theme: 'Blessed are the merciful, they shall have mercy shown them' (Mt 5:7).
To prepare for this event, we invite you to make a journey from Lodz to Krakow and we have chosen two Polish figures for this film: Sister Faustina Kowalska and Father Maximilian Kolbe. Both embody a path of trust in God's mercy. By their response to the call of God and the gift of their lives, these two figures of the Catholic Church made a mark on their era and offered their contemporaries a new way, which we can also follow as it is a universal way. Apostle of mercy, Sister Faustina, teaches us about the freedom of the love of God which is greater than our limitations and faults. Passionate about God's love, Maximilian Kolbe shows us how to say yes each day and follow Christ fully.
