The Immaculate – our Ideal by Father Karl Stehlin SSPX What is the first thing you think of when you hear „St. Maximilian Kolbe“? If it’s „holocaust“ or „concentration camp“ then you’re a victim of the „St. Max Kolbe, Patron Saint of the Holocaust“ crowd. This book by Fr. Karl Stehlin (of the Society of Saint Pius X) is partly biographical but primarily focuses on St. Maximilian Kolbe’s life – a long apostolate of spreading devotion to Our Immaculate Lady following the method of St. Louis de Montfort. Father debunks the typical myths of this so – called „Saint of Ecumenism“ and shows his concern with combatting heresy, liberalism, modernism, Freemasonry and the need to convert heretics and Jews. One of the best features of this book is that Fr. Stehlin continually relates Kolbe’s message with the Crisis in the Church, going so far, for example, as to point out how Lumen Gentium makes it nearly impossible for modern Catholics to truly understand the doctrine of this friar-knight of Our Lady.

Who are you, o Immaculata? by Father Karl Stehlin SSPX The first time that God communicates his own name to us in Holy Scripture he says, „I AM WHO AM.“ When Our Lady spoke to little Saint Bernadette at Lourdes she told her „I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.“ Oh the depths of mystery and of beauty that lies in those twin utterances! Discussion of both of these haunting phrases is tightly woven into this seamless and well ordered explanation of the created universe and God’s plan for the world. Fr. Stehlin quotes extensively from St. John Eudes, Cornelius a Lapide, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, St. Maximilian Kolbe, and Lucia of Fatima. This treatise is one of the most succinct and clear explanations of the complete economy of salvation ever penned. The full role of the Immaculata is explored and refined, and its relevance to the world in our time is detailed in an easy to read and understand format. This is militant Catholic theology made simple for this Marian age. Available at Kolbe Publications
Militia Immaculatae by Father Karl Stehlin Become a Knight of the Immaculate Virgin Mary by joining the Militia Immaculatae, founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe in 1917. Learn the object of the M.I., conditions of joining, and the means of being a member. This book includes the origin and history of the M.I., Explanatory Notes by St. Maximilian Kolbe himself, Indulgences granted to the M.I., and the Ceremony of Enrollment to the M.I. Our principle motive is to help the greatest possible number of souls to be united with the Sacred Heart of Jesus through the mediation of the Immaculata. „It should not be viewed as just one organization among many others; rather, it ought to penetrate into the depths of all other organizations. The essence of the M.I. consists of belonging to the Immaculata unconditionally, irrevocably, unreservedly, and entirely… The object of the M.I. is to strive for the conversion of sinners, heretics, schismatics, etc., and especially of Freemasons, as well as for the sanctification of all, under the protection and through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin.“ (St. Maximilian Kolbe) „Isn’t it beautiful, this ideal of life? The battle to conquer the whole world, the hearts of all men and of each one in particular beginning with oneself… Our strength consists of recognizing our own stupidity, weakness and misery, and entrusting ourselves entirely to the goodness and power of the Immaculata.“ (St. Maximilian Kolbe) Available at Kolbe Publications
A twice-crowned knight by Maria Winowska Almost everyone has heard of him, but few know the real history of his life. In this excellent work, A Twice Crowned Knight, you will learn the full story of this modern hero of the Faith, St. Maximilian Kolbe. This friar with an overwhelming love of the Blessed Virgin Mary, considered a foolish dreamer by many of his contemporaries, built an army for his Queen. His cities of the Immaculate were sources of immense conversion as he sought to draft the entire world into his Militia Immaculatae. “Men of today cannot disavow this son of St. Francis of Assisi under the pretext that he sanctified himself in a medieval frame-work; for with the exception of its sins, he loved all of the modern world and he conscripted for God the printing press, the radio, the airplane. And he knew all of its miseries too: tuberculosis, bombings, enemy occupation, prison camps, the concentration camp of Auschwitz . . . The story of his death with which this book ends is at once one of the most dreadful and sublime that a book from a human pen could yield.” Bruno de Solages Includes 30 pages in the Appendix on how to become a Knight of Our Lady. Preface by Fr. Karl Stehlin. Available at Angelus Press
Be led by the Immaculate by Maximilian Kolbe Learn true marian devotion from one of the greatest marian saints of all time! Everyone has heard of St. Maximilian Kolbe, but few know who he really is. Offering his life for another was simply the crowning end to a life lived in service of the Immaculate, and in this short collection of his words, he teaches us how to truly desire and obtain that same love which burned in his heart. Pulling from numerous sources, all taken from St. Maximilian Kolbe’s own words, this little book considers: Prayer The Mediation of Mary Our Lives as an Instrument in Her Hands The Divine Will and Our Own Will Obedience The Practice of Marian Devotion Overcoming Discouragement Peace of Soul Childlike Devotion to Mary Becoming Mary Missionary Zeal If you are looking for a source of meditation on Mary, and a book that will help you to become closer to her Immaculate Heart, then this is it. You will return to this book again and again to help bring a Marian focus to your daily life, using the words of this saint to truly fall in love with Mary, and to take up her standard as your own. The modern world finds Mary and devotion to Mary to be uncomfortable. St. Maximilian Kolbe, in this short collection, shows that there is no other way to please God but through this total devotion to Mary. Available at Kolbe Publications
