Let us not
allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary enthusiasm!
From the teaching of the
Holy Father:
It is striking
that even some who clearly have solid doctrinal and spiritual convictions
frequently fall into a lifestyle which leads to an attachment to financial
security, or to a desire for power or human glory at all cost, rather than
giving their lives to others in mission. (EG n. 80)
From the Writings of St.
Maximilian:
Dear Son, with your sickness you contribute very much
to the winning of the whole world and of each soul to the Immaculata and,
through her, to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Rejoice, therefore, for you
have the possibility to do much for her. And prod also bro. Cyril to rejoice.
May all those who are around you and in whatever way come in contact with you
draw the serenity and joy of the spirit of the Immaculata from that encounter.
She herself will teach you how to do so in individual situations. Rejoice,
then, dear Child. May the awareness of belonging completely to the Immaculata
fill us with boundless joy. (KW 834)
Silence
St. Maximilian Kolbe, your brothers were always won over by your missionary passion, and in Niepokalanów
you kept alive enthusiasm for the proclamation of the Gospel.
- How do I keep alive missionary enthusiasm in my life
and in my community?
