Let us not
allow ourselves to be robbed of community!
From the teaching of the
Holy Father:
«…life is
attained and matures in the measure that it is offered up in order to give life
to others. This is
certainly what mission means».
Let us recover
and deepen our enthusiasm, that “delightful and comforting joy of evangelizing,
even when it is in tears that we must sow… And may the world of our time, which
is searching, sometimes with anguish, sometimes with hope, be enabled to
receive the good news not from evangelizers who are dejected, discouraged,
impatient or anxious, but from ministers of the Gospel whose lives glow with fervor,
who have first received the joy of Christ». (EG n 10)
From the Writings of St.
Maximilian:
Mutual love
does not consist in that no one ever causes us sorrow, but in that we strive
not to cause pain to others and that we get used to forgive immediately and
completely all that hurts. This mutual patience is the essence of mutual love.
St. Therese writes: “You (Jesus) wish to love through me all those whom You
commanded me to love.” The deeper will this love be, the more thriving will the
missionary activity be. (KW 925)
Silence
St. Maximilian, humble and simple brother to all, inspire us.

How do we care for
one another? How do we encourage and sustain one another?
