Bd Natalia Tulasiewicz died in the gas chamber of Ravensbruck concentration camp 3/31/45, 2 days before liberation. A Polish laywoman, she felt called to serve God in the world: “Let us carry the holiness in our souls to the streets.” In 1943 sent to Germany as a laborer.
Conversation
Her ministry among fellow laborers attracted notice of the Gestapo; she was arrested and sent to Ravensbruck, where she resumed her ministry. “Only holiness is the fullness of love. I must become a saint, a modern saint, a theocentric saint.” Beatified in 1999.
