Karl Stehlin and containing many quotations from the lectures and writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe, is a priceless treasure for the clergy who are loyal to the Tradition of the Church and for all the faithful as well. Indeed, priests and lay people want not only to survive these extremely dangerous times unscathed, but also to sanctify themselves, to make progress in the spiritual life in these concrete circumstances and to bring it to perfection by means of these very circumstances. The Apostle Paul assures us: “God is faithful and will not permit you to be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also give you a way out that you may be able to bear it” (1 Cor. 10:13). But aren’t we doomed to be defeated in our combat today against the deceits of the devil, against the powers and principalities, the rulers of this world of darkness and the wicked spirits in high places (cf.

  • St. Augustine Statistics
    The Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine On Sept. 8, 1565, a small band of Spaniards celebrated Mass on the shores of North Florida in preparation for starting a settlement there. They named their new home St. Augustine in honor of the saint on whose feast day they sighted land. Thus were the seeds of Christianity sown in North America. St. Augustine is the site of the first permanent parish church, now the Cathedral-Basilica. The famed Santa Fe Trail origi- nated here. It was from here that Franciscan missionaries began the trek North and West to proclaim the Good News. It was here that the first schools and hospitals were established. It was not until March 11, 1870 that Florida, east of the Apalachicola River, was designated as the Diocese of St. Augustine. The growth of the church in Florida from this Mother Diocese to six additional dioceses and more than 2.1 million Catholics is a significant part of the story of the Catholic Church in the United States. Today, the Diocese of St. Augustine encompasses 17 counties spanning the northeast section of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. It covers 11,032 square miles and serves about 171,000 registered Catholics.

  • History and Perspectives of the Militia of the Immaculata
    History and perspectives of the Militia of the Immaculata RAFFAELE DI MURO OFMCONV Introduction The Militia of the Immaculata (MI), a Marian association founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe and six confreres, celebrates 100 years of life. This is a significant recurrence that requires reflection on the work of this institution promoted by the Polish martyr. In a recent letter, Fr. Marco Tasca, Minister General of the Friars Minor Conventuals, emphasized the following: "The years 2016 and 2017 are particularly significant as regards the legacy left to us by St. Maximilian Kolbe. The mentioned years mark respectively the 75th anniversary of his martyrdom and the centenary of the foundation of the Militia of the Immaculata (MI). I consider it is important to take this opportunity to reflect on the example of the martyr of the charity of Auschwitz in order to find ideas and motivations aimed at enriching the experience of our Order. His word and example should be valued and updated, because even today they can offer the Friars Minor Conventual new ideas for interior and apostolic growth."1 Welcoming the call of the successor of St. Francis, in this article we will propose the three phases of the journey, distributed in as many paragraphs, of MI history. This association officially begins its apostolic journey on October 17, 2017 and its pastoral action develops especially in those nations in which the Friars Minor Conventuals work, even if it will be immediately clear that this movement will have a worldwide expansion. We will describe the beginnings of this institution, highlighting the basic characteristics and purposes that are the basis of its existence.
