Militia of the Immaculata and all you who read these words, during this month of October, month of the rosary, seek to participate at the common recitation of the rosary, whether in churches or on the side of the road, whether in a public square or near a statue of the Divine Mother. Whoever cannot go far from his home, recite a third of the rosary daily at home.
(a third of the rosary - refers to 5 decades, opposed to the whole rosary of 15 decades)
And why? Because the Immaculata herself has exhorted us to pray the holy rosary, appearing to Bernadette with the rosary in hand.
To whose advantage is it? It is to the advantage of those in greatest need, and precisely to the advantage of our poor and unhappy brothers opposed to Christ and His Church, who are much more unhappy due to the fact that they run towards perdition; still, these are brothers, because Christ has not excluded them from participation in the merits of his Passion.
(opposed to Christ and His Church: St. Maximilian actually makes reference to the freemasons)
And for what intention? Do you not believe, dear readers, that there is no a better intention than conversion? That those enrolled in the Militia of the Immaculata - with the desire to make reparation for evils committed to date - must prepare themselves with great fervor, according to the example of St. Paul after his conversion, to work for the salvation of souls?
(this last paragraph is a very loose translation)
