Happy Solemnity of St. Maximilian (for our institute the celebration is a solemnity) and of the Assumption.  I am in Indiana and will begin a retreat for the members of our MIM this evening on the spirituality of St. Maximilian Kolbe, so please say a prayer for the retreatants and me.

While our work here is specifically directed at the members of our movement, the MIM itself is directed toward spreading unlimited consecration to Mary around the globe, so I encourage any and all to make or renew their consecration to Mary as they are inspired to do.

May the Immaculate bring all of you peace and give you all the spirit of Marian Chivalry.
