Blessed Ivan Merz was born in Croatia, fought in WWI, and became a philosophy professor. During this time, he made a vow of chastity, wanting to remain a layperson, devoting himself to the Church, and evangelizing the youth. He promoted liturgical renewal, Catholic Action in Croatia (Croatian Union of Eagles), and Eucharist devotion and crusades. He died of inflammation of his facial cavities and brain.
