The special program promoted by the headquarters of the Militia of the Immaculate in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) began with the Forgiveness of Assisi on the 2nd. Last August on the 3rd and 4th, there was a retreat for new consecrated people, in the method of St. Maximilian Kolbe, with the spiritual direction of Friar Sebastian Benito Quaglio, International Guardian of the Charism of the Militia of the Immaculate.

“St. Maximilian Kolbe awakens in us a different vision of the world. Even our faith is lit up with a different light. He had an extraordinary illumination from the Holy Spirit to the point where he defied all human logic by saying: ‘I want to conquer the whole world for Christ, with the protection and mediation of the Immaculate Virgin. See how Maximilian Kolbe saw Our Lady. The visible tenderness of God. And this maternal face, this divine tenderness, he understood to be the key that could lead humanity to Christ,” commented Friar Benito Quaglio.
