The latest publication of the internationally renowned Italian VELAR Publishing House is dedicated to the life of Blessed M\u00e1ria Magdolna B\u00f3di.
Written by Father P\u00e9ter Szak\u00e1cs, who previously composed a litany in Magdi\u2019s honor, the newly released booklet offers a concise yet deeply spiritual overview of her life \u2014 from her childhood to her martyrdom.<\/p>\n
A hallmark of the VELAR series is its accessible presentation and rich visual content, depicting the lives of saints and blesseds in a simple yet inspiring way.
In this new volume, readers can also discover the places of Magdi\u2019s life \u2014 Lit\u00e9r, Balatonf\u0171zf\u0151, and the villages of the Balaton Highlands, where she lived, worked, prayed, and bore witness to her faith.<\/p>\n
The booklet portrays the joy of her childhood, her spiritual searching as a teenager, the everyday life of a factory worker, and the sacrificial vow of purity that ultimately gave direction to her entire life.
Told with simplicity and grace, the narrative reveals how Magdi remained faithful to Christ even in the most difficult moments \u2014 all the way to martyrdom.<\/p>\n
The final pages recount the story of her beatification: how J\u00f3zsef Mindszenty, former Bishop of Veszpr\u00e9m, initiated the process more than eighty years ago, and how, after decades of dedicated work, the prayers of the faithful, and the decision of the Holy See, it reached its fulfillment on September 6, 2025.<\/p>\n
This VELAR publication stands as a worthy tribute to the young woman who, through the simplicity of daily work, prayer, and self-sacrifice, became a martyr of purity and divine love.
It serves not only as a reading material but also as a spiritual companion for all who, following Magdi\u2019s example, wish to live with a pure heart and courageous faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new booklet by Father P\u00e9ter Szak\u00e1cs presents the life of the young martyr\n <\/a>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2622"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2623,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2622\/revisions\/2623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bodimariamagdolna.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
