Courage, little children!

St. Maximilian Kolbe
Dear Family of Mary!
Today is the Memorial of St. Maximilian Kolbe! He is an example of great courage and determination in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ His courage to accept even death in a Nazi starvation bunker for the sake of another prisoner is well known. Because of his courage I decided to see what Our Lady has said to us about courage. I found many references! But here are five messages we can start with!! Our Lady knows about courage!!
Let us pray:
October 31, 1985 “Dear children! Today I wish to call you to work in the Church. I love all the same and I desire from each one to work as much as is possible. I know, dear children, that you can, but you do not wish to because you feel small and humble in these things. You need to be courageous and with little flowers do your share for the Church and for Jesus so that everyone can be satisfied. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
December 25, 2001 “Dear children! I call you today and encourage you to prayer for peace. Especially today I call you, carrying the newborn Jesus in my arms for you, to unite with Him through prayer and to become a sign to this peaceless world. Encourage each other, little children, to prayer and love. May your faith be an encouragement to others to believe and to love more. I bless you all and call you to be closer to my heart and to the heart of little Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
January 25, 2002 “Dear children! At this time while you are still looking back to the past year I call you, little children, to look deeply into your heart and to decide to be closer to God and to prayer. Little children, you are still attached to earthly things and little to spiritual life. May my call today also be an encouragement to you to decide for God and for daily conversion. You cannot be converted, little children, if you do not abandon sins and do not decide for love towards God and neighbor. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
December 25, 2004 “Dear children! With great joy, also today I carry my Son Jesus in my arms to you; He blesses you and calls you to peace. Pray, little children, and be courageous witnesses of Good News in every situation. Only in this way will God bless you and give you everything you ask of Him in faith. I am with you as long as the Almighty permits me. I intercede for each of you with great love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
March 25, 2006 “Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way which my Son has chosen. Through each of your tribulations and sufferings God will find the way of joy for you. Therefore, little children, pray. We are close to you with our love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Thank you, Mother, for calling us to courage for the sake of the Gospel of your Son. Pray for us to be your courageous children, ready to pray and love and serve in every situation! We want to be like you!!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
