This is a moderated group. Social Group

The Militia of the Immaculata

Group created by DesertSister62

"This group is for Members of the Militia of the Immaculata, (which would include also; The Knights at the Foot of the Cross (KFC),
For those wanting to consecrate themselves to Our Lady and her humble servant St. Maximilian Kolbe and
For those of you who want to know more about us and/or pray along with us!"

"Pope John Paul II said that all methods of consecrating ourselves to Mary are equally worthy; but that Kolbean consecration adds a clear apostolic dimension." The spirit of the MI is the spirit of continual conversion but when lived in the spirit of willingness and humility, the Immaculata will elevate our natural gifts and inspire us to holiness and fruitful service within the Church!

The Making of a Knight,...Part two

II. THE NATURE OF THE MI

The foregoing is our real purpose, according to which our whole union must be formed.

We have learned from philosophy that everything is made up of "matter" and "form," which are combined together to establish the nature of the thing. In the MI the "matter," as in every organization, is its members, and these can be all those without exception who desire to attain the above-mentioned purpose: young and old, the Religious, priests and laity, men and women, the learned and the simple, in one word all who desire the greatest glory of God without limitations, through the Immaculata.

The "form" of every organization is that which joins the members together in order to attain the organization's purpose; it constitutes the organization's essence. In the MI the "form" is the complete dedication of ourselves and everything, without any reservations, to the Most Blessed Virgin, so that she would deign to accomplish in us and through us what was once written of her: "She shall crush your head" (Gen. 3: 15), and "You yourself have conquered all the heresies in the whole world" (office of the BVM); in one word, that she would deign to sanctify us and through us to unite others with God in the most intimate love.

The external sign of this dedication is the Miraculous Medal, because it was given to us by herself, and this is an integral part of the MI.

The keeping of the spirit of the foregoing offering, as well as the wearing of the Miraculous Medal, does not obligate us under any sin, even the smallest; it is love only, love without limits towards the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, in order to bring back to him as many souls as possible and to unite them with him as intimately as possible, which is the only motive for the existence and activity of the MI.

The Making of a Knight

The following article is the text of an instruction St. Maximilian Kolbe gave to the seminarians' focus group on September 18, 1919. The purpose of this instruction is above all practical. It not only indicates the primary concepts on which the MI is based, but sets forth the attitudes and dispositions that will keep the Knights moving steadily towards their goal of becoming effective instruments in Our Lady's hands.

I. ULTIMATE AND PROXIMATE PURPOSES OF THE MI

Everything that exists, i.e., the being of each thing, is formed according to the specific purpose for which it exists. So, in order to understand the nature of the MI, it is necessary to examine its purpose. Now, everything has a two-fold purpose: The ultimate and the proximate.

The ultimate purpose of every creature is the glory of God manifested externally. In contrast to irrational creatures, rational beings manifest this glory in a perfect way, for they not only reflect the image of God's perfections, they also come to know and admit them. Hence, homage, adoration, thanksgiving and love for the Creator by the creature.

But, God loves us in an infinitely perfect way and shows this love by coming into the world to raise us up again, to enlighten us, to strengthen us, and even to redeem us through a most terrible and painful death. He shows it by remaining among us for all time and all around the world, although he is shamefully neglected and abandoned by the ungrateful. He even gives himself to us as food and drink in order to impart to us a share in his divinity.

We must, therefore, love God in a perfect way. Yet, as creatures we are finite and unable to give him infinite glory. So, let us at least give him as much glory as we are able. For this reason the ultimate purpose of the MI is the glory of God, and not merely the greater glory of God, but the greatest glory.

The proximate purpose of a creature is the particular purpose for which it is made. This particular purpose serves as a means of attaining the ultimate goal. Now (as we have said] the reflection of God's perfections is the purpose of all creation. Hence to know and recognize God's image in us, and to perfect it by freely responding to God's graces and thus through charity unite ourselves all the more strictly with God through a kind of deification, is the [particular] purpose of man.

The MI, therefore, has for its proximate purpose the conversion of non-Catholics and particularly of those unfortunate persons who in their blindness lift up their criminal hands against the most loving and best Father, i.e., the [enemies of the Church]; and this subject to the direction, protection and mediation of the Most Blessed Virgin, the Immaculata. Under her protection, that is, as instruments in her Immaculate hands and through her intercession, using all the means she has given to us, and praying that she would obtain mercy for all. As to the reason why we have recourse to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of her Immaculate Conception, we have already seen this in our last discourse.
