Monday, August 14, 2023: (St. Maximillian Kolbe)
Jesus said: “My people, I died on the cross to save mankind’s souls from their sins as a sacrifice in taking your place for any punishment due for your sins.  This is the same love that St. Maximillian had for his fellow prisoners in the death camps of Auschwitz, Germany.  He offered his life in place of another prisoner who was about to be executed.  In Nagasaki, Japan St. Maximillian started a missionary with his friars that later in World War II was protected from the effects of an atomic bomb that killed thousands of people.  You, My son, saw a recent movie that depicted this explosion that wiped out a good share of this city.  It is unfortunate how your wars have killed many people, and this nuclear bombing was so terrible in its destruction.  Now you could be facing more destruction in a coming World War III that could involve more atomic bombs being used.  Pray for all of the people who are suffering from wars.”

(Vigil of the Assumption) The Blessed Mother said: “My dear children, I am thankful to my Son, Jesus, that he did not want my body corrupted after my death.  He did the honor of taking me up into heaven.  Now, I can pray for all of you from heaven.  In the Gospel I was called Blessed for bringing my Son, Jesus, into this world by the power of the Holy Spirit.  My Son said: ‘Blessed are those people who hear My Word and keep it in their actions.’  The two of us are joined as one as you celebrate the feast of my Assumption.”
