Militia of the Immaculata
The purpose of the MI, universal like its mission, consists of collaborating in the conversion and sanctification of all, thus obtaining the greatest glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity (cf. LG [Lumen Gentium] 69). MI members live their own baptismal consecration by welcoming the gift of the Redeemer from the Cross: “Behold your Mother” (Jn 19:27). They entrust and give themselves completely to the Immaculata with a view to their own sanctification and in order to collaborate in Mary’s maternal mission to direct the heart of each person toward Christ. On Calvary, Christ Himself accomplishes the first act of entrusting, giving the disciple to Mary and Mary to the disciple (cf. Jn 19:25-27), 1 and thus the life of the disciple, from that moment, is characterized by her maternal presence (cf. RM [Redemptoris Mater] 45). One of the ways in which the special entrusting of a person to the Mother of Christ has been practiced and expressed within the history of the Church is that of Saint Maximilian Kolbe. He lived that vital, dynamic relationship with Mary in a unique way, understood as becoming “changed into her, transubstantiated into her” (KW 508), in order to reach a more perfect union with Christ and in order to point Him out to all people, as she did (cf. Jn 2:5).
