Mr. Joshua Mazrin Author of Led by the Immaculata: St. Maximilian Kolbe’s Spiritual Battle Plan for Marian Consecration
St. Maximilian Kolbe is one of the most well-known and well-loved saints of all time. Many are familiar with the story of his selfless act at Auschwitz, where he sacrificed his own life to save a man who was a husband and father. But do you know about Kolbe’s deep love for Mary, whom he called the Immaculata? How he surrendered everything to Our Lady to grow in holiness and align his will to the will of God? How he consecrated his life to Mary?
In Led by the Immaculata, Joshua Mazrin, a Kolbe devotee and Mariology expert, will
introduce you to St. Maximilian Kolbe, explain the meaning of consecration and the objectives of the Knights of the Immaculata, walk you through the fourteen doable and practical steps of the consecration, and provide a step-by-step plan for completing the consecration.
Kolbe taught that by giving our lives completely to Mary, the Immaculata, she would direct our will to the will of the Holy Spirit–that is, the will of God. Kolbe wanted this message shared far and wide and so founded the Knights of the Immaculata with the goal of consecrating as many people as possible to Mary and her son.
Each step of the consecration journey is explained in practical and theological terms, making it accessible to all, regardless of vocation or age. While Kolbe initially targeted men, the principles of holiness are equally relevant to women. The book concludes by empowering you–men and women alike–to be evangelists for the Immaculata and the Gospel and to be spiritual leaders in your family, workplace, and community.
Led by the Immaculata invites you to embrace a deeper devotion to Mary and emulate Kolbe’s path to holiness through the practical application of the fourteen steps in your daily life.
