The Joyful Mysteries - Meditations of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe

The Annunciation

There is no doubt that Her will is completely united with the will of God, so it is only a matter of uniting our will with Hers, so that through Her we may be united with God.

The Visitation

In working with souls, we must give these souls our overflow. The fuller the vessel of our apostolate is, the more of the Immaculate's graces will flow into other souls.

The Nativity of Jesus

What were you thinking, O Immaculate, when you laid the Divine Child in the manger for the first time? When you wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, pressed Him to your heart, and nursed Him at your own breast? What feelings flooded your heart?

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

We are completely, entirely, and exclusively consecrated to the Immaculate with all our actions, and in Her and through Her again completely, entirely, and exclusively to the Lord Jesus, and in Him and through Him completely, entirely, and exclusively to our Father in heaven.

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

…we are to dwell in Her soul, think with Her thoughts, so that there is no difference between Her views and ours, just as there is no difference between Her desires and the will of God.
