Opening Prayer

How fair are you, O Mary, the original stain is not in you. You are the glory of Jerusalem; you are the joy of Israel, you give honor to our people. You are the advocate of sinners. O Mary, Virgin most prudent, Mother most merciful, pray for us, intercede for us, with the Lord Jesus Christ. Holy Virgin, because you bore His Son, pray to the Father for us.

A Reading from the Writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe

The Immaculate descends on earth as a good Mother among her children, to help them save their souls. Thus, she desires the conversion and sanctification of all souls, without exception. In order to carry out that work, though, she uses the tools taken from among men, as we see in the apparitions [to Bernadette]. At any rate, those are extraordinary events. Most often, she urges the children who love her to cooperate with her in situations of normal everyday life. These same souls consecrated to her, live by her, often think of her, love her wholeheartedly, and endeavor to discern her desires—either voiced from her own lips or offered to them in silent inner inspirations. They propagate thus her will, attracting an ever larger number of souls to ever more perfect knowledge and ever more ardent love toward her, and in her and through her, to ever deeper love toward the Divine Heart of Jesus. At all times, the Immaculate inspires thousands of such souls devoted to herself. Many of them also come together more or less closely with one another to serve their Lady even better, in concerted effort. For this reason, the associations that work exclusively for her are many and varied. One of the youngest groups that aim to win souls over to the Immaculate and, through her, to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the Militia of the Immaculate. (KW 1323)

Prayer Intention

For all unborn children and their parents, for the terminally ill and their caregivers; for the protection of the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death. May we recognize that life is a gift from God, renewing in us a deep respect for all persons, especially the unborn, the young, the sick, the disabled, the abused, the aged, and the dying. May all our words and actions foster reverence for human life, may its sacredness be enshrined in the laws of our country.  Amen.
Our Father...
Hail Mary... 
Glory Be... 
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you, and for all those who do not have recourse to you, especially the enemies of Holy Church and all those recommended to you.

Meditation

O soul, ponder how Mary who, after Her Son, is the first-born Daughter of the Most High God, is called par excellence Daughter of the Prince, that is, the most beloved, dearest, worthiest of Her Prince Father, God. And this filiation which Mary had by Her Immaculate Conception She always kept inviolate...never did She weaken it by disobedience. Rather, She continued wondrously to enhance it through the complete observance of the Law and absolute conformity to the will of Her heavenly Father.
O Mary, most beautiful, You were always a Daughter and never a slave, always a Daughter of grace and never a slave of sin!
And you, O soul who meditate on Her filiation, how have you treasured the filiation God gave you through grace at your Holy Baptism? ... Whose son or daughter have you been for so long a time?... And whose child are you now? ... In charity recover anew that divine sonship. Never lose it again... Propose now, firmly, nevermore to be a child of Eve, a slave of sin, but a child of Mary, first-born Daughter among all creatures, and Mother of all graces."
- From the Mariale of St. Francis Anthony of Lucera, 18th-century Franciscan preacher.
