Day 13 - To Be an Instrument - Rather, to be Instruments
St. Maximilian wanted to be a saint. To do so he wanted to be the graces of the Immaculata... to be the will of the Immaculata. Not to just do these things or have them... but to be them. His analogy is that if people can be possessed by Satan then why can't they be possessed by God to be an instrument of good. He further states that if we truly love God, "then we should find the quickest and easiest way to become saints." This goes back to previous readings. By becoming saints we return to God. And that should be our aim, right? The quickest way to do this according to de Montfort and Kolbe is Marian Consecration. By completely relying on and trusting in her we belong to her. And since Mary, is the perfect will of God then we can become saints.
Today's Prayer - Come, Holy Spirit, living in Mary... Prepare me to be a fit instrument in the hands of the Immaculata.
