: With Our Lady, In Our Lady, For Our Lady

 

Quote:

St. Maximilian Kolbe

[A]ll the fruits of your activities depend on union with her...

Bro. Francis M. Kalvelage, FI, ed. Kolbe: Saint of the Immaculata, (Academy of the Immaculate), 155.

 

Meditation:

Catechism of the Catholic Church #964

"Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it. 'This union of the mother with the Son in the work of salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death'; it is made manifest above all at the hour of his Passion:

 

Thus the Blessed Virgin advanced in her pilgrimage of faith, and faithfully persevered in her union with her Son unto the cross. There she stood, in keeping with the divine plan, enduring with her only begotten Son the intensity of his suffering, joining herself with his sacrifice in her mother's heart, and lovingly consenting to the immolation of this victim, born of her: to be given, by the same Christ Jesus dying on the cross, as a mother to his disciple, with these words: 'Woman, behold your son.'(LG)"

 

Resolution:

Today, when I think of a problem (whether it is the most petty or truly the most serious), I will think of Our Lady next to me. I will give Her the problem and remember my life is supposed to be spent busy with Our Lady, in Our Lady, and for Our Lady. In this way, even my problems will bear fruit because they will help me to practice union with her.

 

Marian Vow:

Historical notes from the Marian Seraphic Pathways,  

The need to provide a rule and precise structure for this ever growing circle of the faithful led to the erection of the public Association known as the Mission of the Immaculate Mediatrix (M.I.M.). The approval of the relative legislation was given twice, first on the solemnity of the Epiphany in l991, with the approval of the Legislation of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate on the part of the Archbishop of Benevento, Msgr. Carlo Minchiatti; a second time, separately and independently of the particular legislation of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, on May 24, 1997, by the Archbishop of Benevento, Msgr. Serafino Sprovieri.

In this way the family of the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Immaculate has expanded in and for the Church, sharing thereby the gift of unlimited consecration to the Immaculate with ever more believers, with the goal of consecrating totally all hearts on earth to the Immaculate Mediatrix of all graces.

Introduction to the Marian Seraphic Pathways

 

I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

 

Thanks be to God for graces received.
