QUOTE FROM St. Maximilian Kolbe

No one in the world can change Truth. What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: good and evil, sin and love. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves? - Saint Maximilian Kolbe in the last issue of the Knight

OUR LADY OF SORROWS

We celebrate Our Lady Of Sorrows. I am surprised it is not part of the festive liturgy where it deserves a Sunday celebration.

Nevertheless, let us remember Our Lady, who has been generous with us, never ceasing to intercede for us, and to show us how much she loves us, and more importantly, how much Christ loves HIS bride, the church.

Let us also ask for blessings on our mothers, who have loved us in all totality. Yes, we may find it hard to get along with our mothers sometimes, but that's because we take them for granted, right?

Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
