Fulfilling the will of Immaculate

Blessed be Immaculate!

Dear Knights,
“Why are you worrying, you fool?” Saint Maximilian repeated in times of the biggest troubles and ordered to himself: “Let Her lead you” and he immediately regained peace. Of course, more than one of us would replay “easier said than done”, because our reality is full of problems, during solving of which we forget that “our mind can easily fit in our cap”. We are only poor kids that need Mother who knows what is the best for them. “If Immaculate demands to work here, we should put all our energy, enthusiasm and abilities; if She wants us to take a rest – let’s do it (…) – such a soul, which perfectly fulfills Her will does a lot of good for the cause of Immaculate.” We all have our specific duties which was given to us by God in order to sanctify us; He will spare us no difficulties, because ‘ a fight is the life of a man’ and together with Saint Paul we have to finish this race to gain the laurels. God gave the path to all of us so our task is to pray for a confidence of our steps. Saint Paul was drawn for five times, Saint Peter was crucified, Saint Stephan was stoned to death and we have our difficulties…
We often worry about a lack of abilities, which we notice in other people and we want to become withdrawn what simply means getting deceived by the ego. Don’t we hear the voice of the Church that “I can do all thing in Him who strengthen me” ? Discerning our own weakness is the first step to sanctity, the step which gives us the holy insolence because since we have nothing, we must ask for everything. This ‘everything’ occurs in the heart of Immaculate. Prayer, adoration, obedience, love right to the cross, God’s will… Religious authors maintain that “nobody knows Christ as His Mother, so nobody can be a better guide and a master on the way to know Christ. Also nobody can make a stronger bond between Christ and mankind”.
When Jesus was walking on earth He constantly talked about heaven that is the Heart of Immaculate, which He compared to the great treasure hidden in a soil for which we ought to abandon everything, or to the woman who invites others in order to share the joy that comes from finding a drachma. This joy is missionary because it does not shut our hearts but it opens it for the world. Saint Maximilian was led by this happiness to the remote Japan and furthermore it ordered him to console his fellow inmates in the starvation bunker in Auschwitz. Just beacuse “the one who have should give to the one who have not”. This is the reason why the Knighhood is also missionary thing, as the field of action is a neighbor and not necessarily thousand kilometres from here, but the closest one, in the family, school, workplace on even on the street. We are surrounded by immortal souls which were or are cleansed by God or those who will be purged if they let Him to. We know that words can enrapture by its sound but the example of life is their stamp and this is the duty of the Knight. To give an example. How? To love our dearest Mother, as Saint Maximilian stated „the best reverence to Immaculate is not saying many prayers, but the simple attitude of the child towards its Mother, a short sigh during work is the best prayer. It is also the most practical one as it links us more and more with Immaculate and makes us a tool in Her hand and thanks to it we receive the grace of enlighted mind (in order to know Her will) and the grace of strengthening our will (in order to fulfil it)”.
Since from almost one hundred years an echo of words from Fatim a has sounded: “Pray and offer yourself” and our Saint emphasizes, that “Many tribulations sustained from others are beneficial for us to make our actions for the good of souls easier”. With a blissful hope we say in Our father: “and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us”. After all, this is the prayer that was given to us by Jesus Christ. So it is enough to thoroughly forgive those who wronged us to gain the right for being forgiven for all those sins we’ve committed against God. Truly it would be a problem if we would have nothing to forgive and this is a real joy when every day we have many smaller or bigger things to forgive. Of course, our nature shies away from suffer and humiliation but in the light of faith it is very useful to cleanse our souls in order to approach God by the more effective prayers, to the more powerful missionary.
