Simply “Mary”

      St. Maximilian Kolbe — who died in the Auschwitz concentration camp only three years after St. Faustina passed away in Kraków (a distance of about forty miles) — was a fellow Polish “Apostle of Adoration.”

      In his own words, this strong supporter of Perpetual Adoration considered Eucharistic Adoration the “most important work area in the friary.”

      Like St. Faustina, he frequently visited the Blessed Sacrament throughout his day, and he sometimes focused the entire period expressly on Our Lady. On those occasions, he might simply repeat the one-word prayer “Mary” because, he was certain, in that way he gave “the greatest joy possible” to Jesus.

The Dolors of Our Lady

      Reflect on the sorrows that afflicted Mary’s heart as an act of adoration.

       O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be…
