Several Thursday: Saint Junípero Serra; Canada Day brief rites follow with accompanying prayers, some Friday: First Friday prayed silently by the priest and deacon and others said Saturday: St. Thomas; First Saturday aloud. We call this part of the Mass the “preparation.” What kind of preparation is happening? First, the presider holds up the paten or bowl containing the hosts, and says words that Jesus must have said many times, since they derive from ancient Jewish meal prayers: “Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation!” We have brought forward our gifts, our offering to God, and now we acknowledge that they are not really ours—the gifts that we give are God’s gift to us. It is “through your goodness” that we have gifts to offer. It is significant that we offer not wheat and grapes, but bread and wine; “fruit of the earth and work of human hands.” Bread and wine are both God’s work, and ours.

  • St. Maximilian Kolbe
    WITNESS TO FREEDOM ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE USCCB Fact Sheet “No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it.” The 20th century has been called the Century of Martyrs. Some historians estimate that more people died for their faith in the 20th century than the previous nineteen centuries combined. The 20th century saw a massive amount of bloodshed from people who died because of their faith. One of the most dramatic examples of these martyrs is Saint Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish Franciscan priest who offered his life in the Auschwitz death camp in exchange for the life of another man, a husband and father. Maximilian Kolbe saw the evil of both the Nazi fascism invading Poland from the west and communism invading Poland from the east. The squeezing of the Polish people was partly a military effort, but perhaps more profoundly, it was an attempt to drain Poland of its culture, which was decidedly Catholic. (Matt Palmer) Totalitarian regimes cannot tolerate an authoritative voice other than the state. In response to the attack on the very life of the Polish faithful, Maximilian Kolbe invested his time and energy into creating a counter voice through print media and the formation of priests. The saint knew that what faced Poland and the western world was first and foremost a spiritual battle and thus needed a spiritual response. In establishing various newspapers and houses of formation, Maximilian Kolbe heroically and courageously stood up to the secular powers of his time.

Galten, MI National President Dear Knights of the Immaculata, Maria! For this month’s consideration, I want to look back in order to look forward… all this in the light of the 80th anni- versary of St. Maximilian’s martyrdom. In June, we celebrated the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, a feast dear to the Church, to St. Maximilian, and to every Knight of the Immac- ulata who has pondered his or her Total Consecration prayer. In the Seraphic College, where St. Maximilian studied for the priesthood and founded the MI, there is a large picture of the Sacred Heart revealing the secrets of His Heart to “Through Mary Immaculate to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and a small St. Francis hovering in the background. The Sacred Heart had given St. Francis as a spiritual guide to her. Jesus: that is our watchword. We can suppose that our founder meditated on this picture in light of this The more you spread veneration question, “Who are you, O Immaculate Conception?” Perhaps he saw concretely at that moment the connection between the Immaculata, her Spouse the Holy and love for the Immaculata Spirit, and the spread of the Kingdom of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. If so, because he saw it, we are the Knights of the Immaculata and must see this as the more souls you win over the vital center of our vocation to lead all to this Heart through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

  • Father Maximilian Kolbe ~ Timeline
    Father Maximilian Kolbe ~ Timeline 1894 Raymond Kolbe was born in Zdunska Wola, Poland, to a devout Roman Catholic family. 1906 He had a vision of the Virgin Mary which changed his life. He asked Mary what was to become of him, and learned that he was to become a martyr. He accepted this. 1907 He entered the seminary at Lwow in Poland. In 1910 he became a Franciscan novice and took the name of Maximilian. He was ordained priest in 1918 and returned to Poland the following year. He began to suffer from tuberculosis. 1917 He formed a group called “Knights of the Immaculate” which was dedicated to fighting for goodness, encouraging people to have interest in religion and to perform charitable works. They published a journal which was designed to ‘illuminate the truth and show the way to true happiness.’ This was extremely successful, yet also controversial. Some suggested that there was an anti-semitic tone to some of the articles. 1930 Maximilian travelled to Nagasaki, Japan and published the journal in Japanese. Here, he did not try to impose Christianity. He respected Buddhism and Shintoism, and looked for ways to engage in dialogue. 1936 He returned to Poland. As war approached, Maximilian prepared people to accept suffering with love. He was seriously ill by this time, but continued his work. 1939 The Second World War began. By September, the work of Maximilian’s community was stopped by the invading Germans and the monks were deported to Germany. They were released after three months. The monks continued publishing the journal and also helped Polish refugees, many of whom were Jews.

  • 1 St. Maximilian Kolbe Last Sunday the Church Put Before Us St. Teresa
    St. Maximilian Kolbe Last Sunday the Church put before us St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) who was put to death at Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Today, the Church gives us another courageous hero who was also put to death, St. Maximilian Kolbe Maximilian Kolbe, born Raymund Kolbe, came into the world on January 8, 1894. He was born in Poland, part of the Russian empire at the time. St. Maximilian was active in promoting the Immaculate Virgin Mary. St. Kolbe is known as the Apostle of Consecration to Mary. Maximilian had a dream when he was just 12 years old. The Blessed Virgin presented two crowns – one white, the other red. She asked Maximilian if he was willing to accept either crown. The white symbolized perseverance in purity and the red that he would become a martyr. Maximilian accepted both. After his vision, Maximilian joined the Conventual Franciscans with his older brother. In 1910, Kolbe was given the religious name Maximilian. He professed his first vows in 1911. Maximilian earned both a doctorate in philosophy and theology by age 28. Maximilian organized the Militia Immaculata (Army of the Immaculate One) for the conversion of sinners and those opposed to the Church. He was ordained a priest in 1918 and subsequently continued his work of promoting Mary throughout Poland. He began publishing a monthly periodical called “Knight of the Immaculate.” Additionally, Maximilian founded monasteries in Poland, Japan, and India. His monastery in Japan remains a prominent presence of our Catholic faith in that country even today. In the late 1930’s, Kolbe worked at the monastery in Poland.

  • S Modern Martyrs
    Exploring the Church’s modern martyrs Various international agencies report that over 70 million Christians have been murdered for their faith since the time of Christ’s passion. The same agencies claim that upwards of 45 million such murders took place in the 20th century; other reports say as many as 250 Christians are selectively killed each day. For most Christians in the Western world, these numbers are horrific but impact us little. The atrocities are not highlighted by the media, rarely reported in the national news and not often mentioned from the pulpit. We in the West are free to worship Our Lord Jesus publicly, go to Mass on Sunday or even daily, attend Religious Education classes, gather in Eucharistic adoration, march in the Corpus Christi procession, get our children baptized, all without worry that some group or our government is going to deny us any of these actions. We live in a free society. Yet there are Christians throughout the world who are ostracized, persecuted and even murdered for attempting any of these acts we take for granted. They are the martyrs of today. Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for Saints’ Causes, swings a censer in front of a reliquary that holds a relic of Blessed Stanley Rother during his beatification Mass Sept. 23 at Oklahoma City’s Cox Convention Center. Blessed Rother, a priest of the Oklahoma City Archdiocese, was murdered in 1981 in the Guatemalan village where he ministered. (CNS photo/Steve Sisney, Archdiocese Oklahoma City) Pope St. John Paul II (r. 1978-2005) addressed martyrs of our time in his November 1994 apostolic letter, Tertio Millennio Adveniente.
