As we know, Saint Maximilian encountered in Rome first-hand the militant evil which, as an army hostile to the salvation of souls, had as its goal the defeat of the Church and the drawing away of as many souls as possible from the Lord God, and thus directing them straight to damnation. Our saint, as a fighter of God, decided to counteract this evil flooding the world. He decided to create a different army, one that fights under the banner of the Immaculata and set its goal to bring as many souls as possible to the Immaculata and through the Immaculata to the good Lord.
What are the necessary means in this struggle? All means, as long as they are decent. And this is agere — action. As Knights of the Immaculate — sons and daughters of Saint Maximilian — we are called to action, to fight for souls.
