When Human Love Leads to God: Blessed Franz J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter and Mother Seton<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the lives of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and the World War II martyr Blessed Franz J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter, marital love became a school of holiness. Their devotion to each other prepared them for heroic trust in God.<\/em><\/p>\n

Blessed Franz J\u04d3gerst\u04d3tter died a martyr to the Nazis in 1943, but the movie about his life, 2019\u2019s A Hidden Life, <\/em>focuses on his marriage as much as his martyrdom.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s director explained why. He said<\/a> J\u00e4gerst\u04d3tter\u2019s wife, Franziska, \u201cis a martyr as he was. \u2026 She supported him to the end, despite the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their love for each other grew out of their shared faith in God, and led to a heroic love of God \u2014 as it did for Elizabeth Ann Seton and her husband William. In both cases, husband and wife entered deeply into each other\u2019s suffering, and through that to Christ\u2019s suffering.<\/p>\n

God writes straight with crooked lines, and Franz is a powerful example<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He was born out of wedlock on May 20, 1907, and would himself father a child outside of wedlock before marrying his devout Catholic wife. Franz\u2019s biological father and his stepfather, Heinrich J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter, both died in World War I.<\/p>\n

His stepfather\u2019s farm provided Franz his livelihood in his wooded hometown of Radegund in Upper Austria, and the homestead\u2019s unusually extensive library supplemented Franz\u2019s education in the town\u2019s one-room schoolhouse. In his stepfather\u2019s library, Franz read the history and philosophy that equipped him to see the dangers of the Anschluss movement that united Germany and Austria in 1938, and to understand the power of conscience in a more sophisticated way than his fellow parishioners.<\/p>\n

But Franz was not an exceptionally pious young man. He was mostly known as the first in his town to own a motorcycle. His faith deepened gradually, and matured when he married his wife Franziska in 1936. The couple traveled to Rome to be blessed by Pope Pius XI.<\/p>\n

He remembered his wedding on his seventh anniversary when, in prison, he wrote: \u201cin the presence of God and of the priest, we promised that we would love each other and be faithful. I believe that we have faithfully kept this promise to this day, and I believe that God will continue to grant us the grace, even though we are now separated, to remain true to this promise until the end of our life.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the marriage he became a daily communicant, a Third Order Franciscan, and a parish sacristan. But as Franz\u2019s faith intensified, with a special devotion to the Passion of Christ, Austria was falling under the sway of Nazism.<\/p>\n

Franz\u2019s opposition to the Nazis made him unpopular.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Franz was his town\u2019s only vote against Germany\u2019s annexation of Austria, and his position was so unpopular he had to stop going to the town tavern to avoid heated arguments.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, he reported for compulsory military service in 1940, avoiding active duty only through agricultural deferrals. As the war progressed, he grew increasingly appalled by Hitler\u2019s evil and became convinced that cooperating with the Nazi war machine would be a serious sin.<\/p>\n

When he was called to serve again in 1943 \u2014 after Germany\u2019s catastrophic losses at Stalingrad \u2014 J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter reported for duty as required but declared himself a conscientious objector, offering to serve in non-combat roles, including as a medic. Nazi authorities refused and imprisoned him instead.<\/p>\n

Acquaintances tried everything to convince him to fight. When they argued this was an opportunity to defeat the godless Bolsheviks, Franz answered, \u201cWhen our Catholic missionaries went to a pagan country to make them Christians, did they advance with machine guns and bombs in order to convert and improve them?\u201d<\/p>\n

A sticking point was his refusal to swear a military oath to Hitler. J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter was reminded of the Christian duty to obey legitimate authorities. A friend urged him, \u201cJust say yes. You don\u2019t even have to shoot straight. But take the oath.\u201d Franz answered that he did not consider Hitler a legitimate authority and refused to say otherwise under oath.<\/p>\n

When Catholics insisted that, as husband and father, he was required <\/em>to give in, Franz wrote, \u201cI cannot believe that, just because he has a wife and children, a man is free to offend God.\u201d Besides, he said, it was better for his four daughters to see their father as a martyr than as a Nazi collaborator.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can only act on my own conscience. I do not judge anyone. I can only judge myself,\u201d J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter wrote. \u201cI have considered my family. I have prayed and put myself and my family in God\u2019s hands. I know that, if I do what I think God wants me to do, he will take care of my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was tried and condemned, and then on August 9, 1943, he was executed. As the Vatican puts it in his official biography: \u201cFranz J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter, who would not bow his head to Hitler, bowed his head to God, and the guillotine took care of the rest. He was obviously called up to serve a higher order.\u201d<\/p>\n

His brave story of faith grew out of a beautiful love story.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2007, when Pope Benedict declared J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter a martyr, his wife Franziska was 94 years old. She not only attended her husband\u2019s beatification but insisted on joining the procession carrying the urn containing his remains.<\/p>\n

It was a final testament to the fierce devotion the couple had for each other. When Notre Dame University theologian Robert Krieg translated their letters for publication in the early 2000s, he said his wife would come downstairs to find him crying. He said the letters revealed the hearts of two saints \u2014 husband and wife.<\/p>\n

In his last letter to his wife in 1943, Franz wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cDearest wife and mother, I am deeply grateful for everything that you have done for me in my life, for all the love and sacrifices which you have shown me. And I ask you once again to forgive me for everything that I have made you suffer and feel hurt. You have surely been forgiven by me for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also left final instructions for his wife and daughters: to keep the First Fridays devotion, to take comfort in the Blessed Sacrament that would soon \u201cstrengthen me for the journey to eternity,\u201d and to remember his promise: \u201cIf I am soon in heaven, I shall ask the loving God to prepare a place for all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone who knows the story of William and Elizabeth Seton will notice the similarities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like Franz and Franziska, there was a six-year difference between William and Elizabeth when they married. Franz was 36 when he died; William was 35. And like Franz, William had a sincere but unremarkable faith that grew after marriage and flowered when he faced the crisis that ended his life.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth wrote to a friend about her joy in her husband\u2019s faith, saying, \u201cThe last twenty four hours are the happiest I have ever seen or could ever expect, as the most earnest wish of my heart was fulfilled… Willy\u2019s heart seemed to be nearer to me for being nearer to his God.\u201d<\/p>\n

After their seventh wedding anniversary, Elizabeth traveled to Italy with William and one of their five children in the hope that the climate would cure his tuberculosis. After arriving, the family was immediately quarantined for thirty days as William\u2019s condition worsened, and the couple suffered together until his death. Elizabeth recorded his last words: \u201cMy Christ Jesus have mercy! My dear wife, my dear little ones \u2026 Tell all my dear friends not to weep for me that I die happy, and satisfied with the Almighty Will.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her part, Elizabeth fell in love with the Catholic Church, and found comfort in the Blessed Sacrament, just as Franz later would. \u201cLittle Anna and I had only strange tears of Joy and grief: we leave but dear ashes,\u201d she wrote, and \u201cwould gladly encounter all the sorrows before us to be partakers of that Blessed Body and Blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

In both cases, the intimate holiness shared between these spouses and God now inspires millions.<\/p>\n

As director Terrence Malick put it in A Hidden Life<\/em>, Franz J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter\u2019s heroic death was regarded in his homeland as the shameful death of a cowardly traitor for decades. \u201cEven in Austria nobody knew it,” he said. “It came out only in the 1970s, many years after his death. What the Nazis were saying in the film was about to happen: you will die, your family will suffer, but no one will notice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nobody but your spouse and God \u2014 and that is enough.<\/p>\n
