Jim Tuesday, September 15 Our Lady of Sorrows My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 6:30 AM † Daniel Adams One of the most significant dates in Western history is the year 313 A.D. In 8:30 AM † Angeline Navarro February of that year, the Emperor Constantine promulgated the “Edict of Wednesday, September 16 Milan.” That decree essentially legalized Christianity and thus allowed the once Saints Cornelius, Pope, and persecuted minority to practice their faith openly. Consequently, Christianity Cyprian, Bishop, Martyrs spread throughout the Roman Empire. 8:30 AM † Ronald Bartholomew Around the same time, Constantine’s own mother, St. Helena, converted to Thursday, September 17 Christianity. According to the historian Eusebius, Helena was about 63 years 6:30 AM † Marge Farquis old at the time of her conversion. In the year 324, Helena went to the Holy 8:30 AM Savannah Hay Land to visit the sacred sites of our faith. On this pilgrimage, Helena tried to Friday, September 18 follow in the steps of our Lord in more than just geographical ways. It is said 8:30 AM † Steve and that everywhere she went she gave away money, food and clothing. After † Margaret Faile finally arriving in the Holy Land, Helena had numerous churches built marking Saturday, September 19 the holy sites, including the Church of the Nativity. 8:30 AM Grief Support 4:30 PM † Carolyn Rose One goal that Helena had for the journey was to find the “True Cross,” the Bebout Cross upon which our Lord was crucified. Under Roman occupation, and after Sunday, September 20 the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., a pagan temple had been built over the Twenty-Fifth Sunday in site of our Lord’s Passion and burial. According to tradition, Helena had the Ordinary Time temple torn down and excavation of the site began in the hopes of finding the 6:30 AM Presider’s Intention True Cross. Three crosses were found, as well as a plaque with the words: 8:00 AM People of the Parish “Jesus Nazaranus Rex Iudaeorums” (Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews). 10:00 AM † Anthony Silvestri, Sr. However, the plaque was not attached to any of the cross, so which was the 12:00 PM † Donald Klosterman True Cross? † Deceased Helena wanted solid verification. The story goes that a woman near death was brought to the site. When the woman touched the first and second crosses, no change occurred. When she touched the third cross, she was restored to health. Thus, Helena declared that was the True Cross. Upon that site, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was built. Helena left a portion of the Cross in Jerusalem, but brought back a portion to Rome, as well. While some of the details of the discovery of the True Cross vary, the writings of the Church Fathers and archeological research reveal that relics of the True Cross were dispersed throughout the ancient world. St. Cyril of Jerusalem wrote, "The saving Wood of the Cross was found at Jerusalem in the time of ”We adore You, O Christ, and we Constantine” and “the whole world has since been filled with pieces of the praise You, for by Your Holy Cross Wood of the Cross.” You have redeemed the world.” We here at St. Max are fortunate enough to have such a relic of the True - St. Francis of Assisi Cross. As the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is this Monday, we will have a special blessing at the end of our Masses this weekend. In Christ, Fr.

  • 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.
