Militia Immaculata Youth and Young Adults MAX 2007 Retreats
Firing up young souls for Jesus through Mary.
Toronto, ON (PRWEB) February 25, 2007 -- With the new year in full swing, the MAX-'007 is gearing up for its awesome series of retreats! Where is Our Lady calling you?
What is the Militia of the Immaculata?
The MI is a spiritual movement approved by the Vatican, with over four million members worldwide, and founded by St. Maximilian Kolbe, OFM, Conv. in 1917. The aim of the MI is to conquer the world for the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The MI is committed to providing young people with on-going Catholic formation in the spirit and mission of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Through Total Consecration to Mary, young lives are transformed into instruments of 'youth evangelizing youth,' with a mission to penetrate their world with authentic and heroic love.
Love one another as I have loved you (Jn 13:34)
Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. Since God has first loved us (cf. 1 Jn 4:10), love is now no longer a mere "command"; it is the response to the gift of love with which God draws near to us...God does not demand of us a feeling which we ourselves are incapable of producing. He loves us, he makes us see and experience his love, and since he has "loved us first", love can also blossom as a response within us." (Deus Caritas Est 1, 17)
