“Let us commit ourselves to hasten this moment: first and foremost by allowing the Immaculata to take entire possession of our heart so that by becoming instruments in her immaculate hands we will gain, to the limit of our possibilities, the greatest number of souls for her, through prayer, through the offering of our sufferings and work.” KW 1159

St. Maximilian Kolbe

“I invite all the faithful to take part in a day of fasting and prayer on August 22, imploring the Lord to grant us peace and justice, and to wipe away the tears of those who suffer because of ongoing armed conflicts. May Mary, Queen of Peace, intercede so that peoples may find the path of peace.”

Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday, August 20th
