Euphrasie Barbier

Euphrasie was a passionate and determined nun. She was the founder of the Mission Sisters, nuns who support the needy. Euphrasie was most known for her selfless actions caring for those in need. 
Her good deeds led her to becoming a successful nun who created schools across the world, especially NZ. 

Euphrasie was determined and ambitious about what she did. Euphrasie had a lot of empathy in which she used to look after the world and its people. She was an ambitious, determined, confident and very faithful nun. She remained faithful to God all her life.
If I had her empathetic trait, I would use it for looking after my surroundings and other people.

Maximilian was first a priest, then promoted to a catholic priest with his brother in 1917. He was still present when World War II. The priest was active at the radio transporting actions of the Nazi's. 

Soon enough he got captured by the Nazis and was placed prisoner for persecution later on. In his time there he thought men about songs and praying to God. A man was then elected to die but he begged the soldiers to let him live because of his family. 

Maximilian took attention of the Nazis and declared for him to die instead. "I have no family and none will miss me, so take me instead". It took a while for him to  persuade the soldiers to take his life but died as they finally agreed. The man survived the war and returned to his family. 

"Greater has no man than this, lay down their life for it's friend"
