"For me You have created the skies scattered with stars...and all the beautiful things on earth."
St. Maximilian Kolbe
Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center,

Pax Christi!

I am writing this urgent message because Pope Francis has announced that he will join with a papal envoy to Ukraine, Cardinal Krajewski, in Fatima, to consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25, in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. According to a report from the Catholic News Agency:
Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Vatican announced on Tuesday.

The Holy See press office said on March 15: “On Friday, March 25, during the Celebration of Penance at which he will preside at 5 p.m. in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Francis will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

“The same act, on the same day, will be carried out in Fatima by His Eminence Cardinal Krajewski, Apostolic Almoner, as envoy of the Holy Father.”

Cardinal Konrad Krajewski was one of two papal envoys sent to Ukraine last week in an expression of the pope’s concern for the war-torn country’s population.

March 25 was the day in 1984 that Pope John Paul II consecrated Russia and the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is also the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord.
Ukraine’s Latin Rite Catholic bishops asked Pope Francis earlier this month to consecrate Ukraine and Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

In a letter to the pope, the Ukrainian bishops said that they were writing “in these hours of immeasurable pain and terrible ordeal for our people” in response to many requests for the consecration.

“Responding to this prayer, we humbly ask Your Holiness to publicly perform the act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Ukraine and Russia, as requested by the Blessed Virgin in Fatima,” said the letter, published on the bishops’ website on Ash Wednesday, March 2.
I am writing to ask all readers of this newsletter to urge you or anyone known to you who has any influence with his local Ordinary or with any other Ordinary to please implore the Bishops to ask the Pope to invite Pope Benedict XVI and all of the Bishops of the world to join him in the consecration on March 25th "to avert a Third World War." It would be very easy for Pope Francis to send an invitation to all of the Bishops of the world, inviting them to join him in making the Consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. 
But time is short.

If the Pope does not invite the Bishops to join him (as Our Lady of Fatima requested), individual Bishops could still consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in their own cathedrals on March 25, as an act of solidarity with the Pope. Ideally, if Pope Francis does not invite the Bishops of the world to join with him in consecrating Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, individual Bishops could still inform him of their intention to unite with him in making the consecration and respectfully request that he invite the rest of the Bishops to join them.
In the three days that remain before the Feast of St. Joseph, Guardian of the Church, let us ask him to obtain the grace of an invitation by Pope Francis to Pope Benedict XVI and to all of the Bishops to participate in the consecration on March 25—and the added grace of a generous response by all of the Bishops. Then we would see at last the complete fulfillment of Our Lady of Fatima’s promise: “In the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to Me, Russia will be converted, and a period of peace will be granted to the world.”
 
Yours in Christ through the Immaculata in union with St. Joseph,

The Earthmovers - E-Book (PDF)
One of the greatest obstacles to the restoration of the Faith is the difficulty of identifying and eradicating the roots of the revolution against it. In his monumental work The Earthmovers, author James Redmond O’Hanlon exposes the roots of the revolution in the rejection of God’s Revelation regarding the position of the Earth in the universe and in the failure of the Church leadership to continue the courageous efforts of their predecessors to defend that Revelation, beginning as early as the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In spite of the widespread belief that heliocentrism was eventually “proven” by advances in astronomy, O’Hanlon shows that the champions of the heliocentric hypothesis have never provided proof beyond a reasonable doubt for their model of the solar system and that the Neo-Tychonic geocentric-geostatic model of the universe continues to explain all of the experimental and observational evidence better than any of the competing models. The Earthmovers shows that the failure of the Church leadership to defend God’s Word in regard to the Earth’s position in the cosmos as it had been understood in the Church from the beginning paved the way for the modernist revolution against the traditional faith and practice of the Church by exalting fallible human science above divine science, an error which the Angelic Doctor identifies as “the source of all heresy.”

Biology: A Traditional Catholic Perspective – 2nd Edition (Textbook)
This refreshingly Catholic biology book begins with a short and easy application of the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas (the Catholic Church’s greatest theologian) to the science of biology. In contrast to most modern biology texts, which are designed around evolutionary principles and assumptions, this Catholic textbook explains life from the perspective of the observable activities of living things. It takes into account all the causes of life, including God, the soul, and the purpose behind the design of living things. Guided by this sound framework, the reader is given an up-to-date presentation of human biology, animal physiology, a detailed treatment of the various animal and plant kinds, ecosystems, cellular and molecular biology, genetics and heredity, biotechnology and ethics, and a refutation of evolution as a plausible explanation of the origin and diversity of life. Sold separately are a laboratory/experiment manual, student exercises, and answer key. Recommended for grades 9 – 12. Perfect for homeschoolers, too!

The True Conception of the World according to Hildegard von Bingen - MP3 Audiobook
In this translation of Helmut Posch’s important work on the writings of St. Hildegard of Bingen on creation, biophysicist Dr. Dean H. Kenyon shows that this Benedictine nun and Doctor of the Church was shown the workings of the solar system on the same pattern as that conceived by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe, the greatest astronomer of his age, several hundred years before him. Dr. Kenyon’s translation goes on to show that this Hildegardian conception of the universe actually explains the astronomical data better than the alternative models of the solar system that have been in fashion for the last few hundred years, while restoring man and the Earth to their rightful place in God’s plan for Creation.

The Light Comes from the East
On October 13, 1917, almighty God worked the greatest public miracle since the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ to prove that the warning of Our Lady of Fatima was urgent and true. In her messages to the three children of Fatima, the Blessed Virgin explained that She would come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart by the Pope and the Bishops and that if this Consecration was done, Russia would be converted and a period of peace would be granted to the world. The Light Comes from the East reveals the deep significance of Our Lady’s appeal for the consecration of Russia in the light of the history of the relationship between Latin and Eastern Catholic Christianity. It also demonstrates that the consecrations of 1984 and 2000 have not fulfilled Our Lady’s request and that the peace of the world depends upon the exact fulfillment of that request as soon as possible.

Genesis Through the Eyes of the Saints - MP3 Audiobook
Genesis through the Eyes of the Saints shows how the private revelations of the greatest mystical saints of the Catholic Church regarding creation and the early history of mankind agree perfectly with God’s revelation to Moses in Genesis 1-11, while the private revelations of modern-day theistic evolutionists like Fr. Teilhard de Chardin pervert and contradict that fundamental doctrine.
