Los 3 mártires de la fe
Como San Maximiliano Kolvi: Mártires de la generosidad
Reusaron los espacios en los botes salvavidas del coloso barco Titanic, escogiendo hacer sus ministerios atendiendo a los pasajeros atrapados, escuchando confesiones y dando la absolución.

“The three Catholic priests aboard the RMS Titanic that refused spots in the lifeboats, choosing instead to give their lives ministering to the passengers who were stuck on the ship.”
The three priests were Fr. Thomas Byles (age 42) of England, Fr. Josef Benedikt Peruschitz, O.S.B. (age 41) of Bavaria, and Fr. Juozas Montvila (age 27) of Lithuania. Each of the priests died on the ship, and none of the bodies were recovered.
Here’s what one survivor said she witnessed as the ship sank:
“When the crash came we were thrown from our berths… Slightly dressed, we prepared to find out what had happened. We saw before us, coming down the passageway, with his hand uplifted, Father Byles. We knew him because he had visited us several times on board and celebrated mass for us that very morning.
“‘Be calm, my good people,’ he said, and then he went about the steerage giving absolution and blessings…
“They led the rosary and others answered. The sound of the recitation irritated a few passengers, and some ridiculed those who prayed and started a ring dance around them.
La burla de unos pocos pasajeros se hizo notar.
Mientras los sacerdotes rezaban el Rosario, unos pocos ridiculizan bailabando alrededor de éstos
Según un testigo: sin importar el credo, respondían fuertemente, Santa Madre!.
