the Boxer page 4 by ric gustafson
I spent my days digging ditches with Kolbe the priest. One day, we were taking a break away from the guards. I stared at the little priest. " Has anyone ever escaped from this camp?".
He smiled. " It does not surprise me you are asking me this?".
" Why is that?".
" You are a born fighter and boxer".
I stared at the priest. " Do you feel it is wrong to want to fight?".
" No". He paused. " I choose peace".
Kolbe looked at me with love in his eyes. " Young man, are you willing to give up your life for someone else?".
" Yes, I am".
We began to walk back to work.
" Good". The priest smiled. " Jesus did the same".
