Franz Jägerstätter, today we celebrate his beatification.

Today we visited the beatificaton ceremony in the Maria Empfängnis Cathedral in Linz, Austria. Here a short guest comment from my friend "Dot".

I must say he's a real martyr who is ready to die in behalf of his belief to God's love. He was executed because of he refused to serve the Nazi regime, which is a really brave act.

He is a great example to mankind. He followed the steps of Christ and insisted his faith in God.

Auch für uns gibt es kein glückliches Auferstehen, bis wir nicht bereit sind, für Christus und unseren Glauben zu leiden und wenn es sein muß auch zu sterben.
(Franz Jägerstätter)
