Behind the detainment of immigrant children there are innumerable stories of terror, hope, and courage. Some of those stories appear in "Blessed Are the Refugees: Beatitudes of Immigrant Children," which just won 1st Prize from @CathPressAssn bit.ly/2KzC2eF

ST MAXIMILIAN (d 295): I will never serve. You can cut off my head, but I will not be a soldier of this world, for I am a soldier of Christ.

M: I carry the mark of Christ my God already.
P: Then you will die.
M: God lives!
