Our Morning Offering – 8 December – Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Conception

Act of Consecration By St Maximillian Kolbe (1894-1941)

O Immaculate, Queen of heaven and earth, Refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to You, I, an unworthy sinner, cast myself at Your feet, humbly imploring You to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to Yourself as Your possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever pleases You. If it pleases You, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what has been said of You: “She will crush your head”, and “You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world.” Let me be a fit instrument in Your immaculate and most merciful hands for introducing and increasing Your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls and thus help extend as far as possible, the blessed Kingdom of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For, wherever You enter, You obtain the grace of conversion and sanctification, since it is through Your hands, that all graces come to us. from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V.Allow me to praise You, O most holy Virgin.

R. Give me strength against Your enemies. Amen

Our Morning Offering – 14 August – The Memorial of St Maximillian Kolbe OFM Conv (1894 -1941) “Martyr of Charity”

The Day was Long By St Maximillian Kolbe (1894 -1941) Martyr

The day was long, The burden I had borne Seemed heavier than I could longer bear And then it lifted but I did not know Someone had knelt in prayer; Had taken me to God that very hour, And asked the easing of the load and He, In infinite compassion, had stooped down And taken it from me. We cannot tell how often as we pray For some bewildered one, Hurt and distressed, The answer comes, But many times, those hearts find sudden peace and rest. Someone had prayed and faith, a reaching hand, Took hold of God and brought Him down that day! So many, many hearts have need of prayer. Oh, let us pray! Amen
