Dear Knights of the Immaculata!

On 14 August 1941, Vigil of the Feast of Assumption, Saint Maximilian was killed with a carbolic injection in the extermination camp in Auschwitz. Since February 17 he had been put into prison by Hitler’s slaves because of his courage to uphold the principles of Catholic Faith against the national socialist invaders. Since May he had been transferred to Auschwitz, where he had to suffer more than the other prisoners because he was a priest. One day, towards the end of July, one of…

The District of Great Britain and Scandinavia has not had a branch of the original Militia Immaculata for very many years, if there was a presence at all. If ever there was a branch, it withered after the imposition of changed Statutes following the Second Vatican Council. Towards the closingRead More →

Dear Knights of the Immaculata!

When Saint Maximilian wrote to the knights, they used to name his messages “Our Father Director’s letters”. After his death his successors, the international moderators of the MI, continued long time this tradition for the simple reason that it was easier for the knights to use the term ‘director’ than the somehow complicated canonical term “international moderator”. As the Divine Providence through the voice of the superiors has chosen your servant as international moderator of the “Militia Immaculatae – traditional observance”, allow me to go in the footsteps of the holy founder and send you more or less regularly “Father Director’s letter”. As the knights in those times recognized Saint Maximilian both as their father and guide, so today I ask humbly your prayers, that I would become a faithful echo of him, so that today, when we lack terribly true fathers and guides, he may be again and even more “our beloved Father director”.

In this first letter I wish to inform you about the origins of the Militia Immaculatae in its traditional observance and to give you a brief historical account from its beginnings until our times.

It was in our first year of the seminary, in 1981, when the leaders…

Dear Knights of the Immaculata,

Saint Maximilian Kolbe from the very first issue of his bulletin “Rycerz Niepokalanej – The Knight of the Immaculata” invited all knights to pray daily in the intentions of fellow knights. He also invited the knights to send their prayer request to the headquarters. The most important of these requests he even had them published in his bulletin.

The first apparition of Our Lady in Fatima 13 May 1917

(TOWARDS FATIMA 2017 – part 5)

 

Dear Knights of the Immaculata!

Approaching the great mysteries of the Passion and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, allow me to send you the events of the first apparition of Our Lady in Fatima on 13 May 1917 and a commentary, which may help you to meditate about the words and requests of the Immaculata. May I ask you also to have in mind to become more and more APOSTLES of FATIMA. Therefore you should know both the events and the deeper meaning very well, so that you can attract other souls to HER.

With my priestly blessings for this holy Passion tide.

Fr. Karl Stehlin
