August 14, 2024 Reflection – You are called to holiness and created for Heaven!
You are called to holiness and created for Heaven! August 14, 2024 St. Maximillian Kolbe Dear Family of Mary! Today is the Feast Day of St. Maximillian Kolbe! St. Maximillian was completely devoted to Mary, because He loved her so much, and knew that she was the safest way to Jesus. Such an amazing saint!! He said about Mary: “Let us run to Mary, and, as her little children, cast ourselves into her arms with a perfect confidence.” He also said: “The Son of God became man for our salvation but only in Mary and through Mary.” St. Maximillian Kolbe is the perfect saint to help us prepare for the Assumption of Our Lady! Let’s ask his intercession today! Today is also Day 8 of our little novena before the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! And here is the message for today: January 25, 2018 “Dear children! May this time be for you a time of prayer, so that the Holy Spirit, through prayer, may descend upon you and give you conversion. Open your hearts and read the Sacred Scripture, that through the testimonies you also may be closer to God. Above everything, little children, seek God and the things of God and leave earthly ones to the earth, because Satan is attracting you to the dust and sin. You are called to holiness and created for Heaven; therefore, seek Heaven and the things of Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother Mary teaches us so well. Every word in this message is essential and has great meaning for us. She is so practical and yet so lofty. Let’s take time today to pray with this message, asking St. Maximillian to help us to grasp the full meaning of Mother’s words. In this time we are living in, we need to understand her completely. Our Lady’s aim is for us to attain Heaven, nothing less! Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity. From Heaven, you come to us now, every day, in Medjugorje! You bring Heaven with you, and we all have felt it. We want to do everything we can to prepare for Heaven. We will listen to your words with our hearts, and respond as best we can. Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in Medjugorje! Amen, Alleluia!
