Let us not
allow ourselves to be robbed of missionary vigor!
From the teaching of the
Holy Father:
Wherever there
is life, fervor and a desire to bring Christ to others, genuine vocations will
arise. Young people call us to renewed and expansive hope, for they represent
new directions for humanity and open us up to the future, lest we cling to nostalgia
for structures and customs which are no longer life-giving in today’s world.
Challenges exist to be overcome! Let us be realists, but without losing our
joy, our boldness and our hope-filled commitment. (Cf. EG nn. 107-108-109)
From the Writings of St.
Maximilian:
Dear Children! I know you miss the ordinary atmosphere
of the friary, but let us take comfort in the hope that the current emergency
situation will not last forever. The hour will come when peace triumphs and
eventually each of you will go back to his former work for the cause of the
Immaculata in souls. As a matter of fact, this mission continues even now,
albeit in different form and circumstances. How many souls will for all
eternity thank the Immaculata (and… you), precisely because, as a result of the
present dispersion, they have had the possibility to meet you and draw closer
to the Immaculata, Mother of souls!
Let us therefore pray, bear small crosses, and love
much the souls of all our neighbors,
without exception, friends or enemies. Let us be confident and do all this for
the sole aim that she may become the Queen of each and every individual soul as
soon as possible, all over the earth. (KW 892)
Silence
St. Maximilian, pilgrim
of love with hands outstretched, pray for us.

Where do I draw strength to bring Jesus into every
corner of the earth?
