St. Maximilian Mary Kolbe
Do not ever be troubled, do not ever be afraid, you have nothing to fear. Isn't the Immaculate perhaps aware of everything? If this were not true, we would be in great trouble indeed. No one can hurt us without God's permission, or even without the Immaculate's permission. Therefore, everything is in her maternal hands. Consequently, let us just allow her to lead us ahead every day, every minute a little more. This is all our philosophy. And if we are always more ready to be her instruments, then even the missionary activity, the conquest of the souls to Jesus through her shall be more effective. Work, suffering, and mainly prayer shall bear fruit in abundance. Besides, let us not fret about doing more or acting faster than she wishes, because if we act according to her will, we shall surely act in the best and fastest of ways. Only at God's judgment shall we know how many mysteries of grace took place around us and how many people were saved thanks to us, without our having ever imagined it. Therefore, we still stress the importance of our belonging to her more totally every day, every instant, allowing her to lead us always more perfectly and serenely, always increasing our confidence in her, through all the things she allows to happen, both in us and around us, and in relation to us, so that we may thus become an ever more perfect instrument in her immaculate hands. Of course, we have to be on the watch, because often our self-respect, our ego shall revolt. Sometimes, we may feel almost overwhelmed by all sorts of difficulties, temptations, and misfortunes. However, if the roots keep growing deeper into the earth and humility is rooted deeply in us, to make us rely every day less on ourselves alone, then, through the Immaculate, whatever happens shall only mean for us a growth in merits. Still, ordeals are necessary, and they shall certainly cross our path, since the gold of love must be purified in the fire of affliction(see Sir 2:5; 1Pt 1:7). In fact, suffering is the nourishment that strengthens love.
