“Therefore, he who does not wish to have Mary Immaculate for Mother will not have Christ for his brother, neither will God the Father send him the Son, nor will the Son descend into his soul, nor will the Holy Spirit with His own graces form the Mystical Body upon the model of Christ, because all of this happens in Mary Immaculate, full of grace, and solely in Mary.”

—Gli scritti di san Massimiliano Kolbe, Rome, Italy, 1997; 1295, 1296, as quoted in Fr. Stefano Maria Manelli, F.I., The Marian Vow, pg. 130.

I would like to get ahold of more of his quotes from his magazines!

Some good ones here, shin: St. Maximilian Kolbe and the Immaculate Conception https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=6547

I think he's being kept under wraps. He doesn't fit well in the Vatican 2 scene. There should be quite a bit floating around - probably a lot in Polish. I wonder if much of it was translated before the rot set in?

This is very similar to what St. Louis de Montfort wrote in True Devotion to Mary

Quote from: St. Louis de Montfort

30.(...) All true children
of God have God for their father and Mary for their mother;
anyone who does not have Mary for his mother, does not have
God for his father. This is why the reprobate, such as heretics
and schismatics, who hate, despise or ignore the Blessed Virgin,
do not have God for their father though they arrogantly claim
they have, because they do not have Mary for their mother.
Indeed if they had her for their mother they would love and
honour her as good and true children naturally love and honour
the mother who gave them life.
An infallible and unmistakable sign by which we can distinguish a
heretic, a man of false doctrine, an enemy of God, from one of
God's true friends is that the heretic and the hardened sinner
show nothing but contempt and indifference for our Lady. He
endeavours by word and example, openly or
insidiously–sometimes under specious pretexts–to belittle the
love and veneration shown to her. God the Father has not told
Mary to dwell in them because they are, alas, other Esaus.

There's an article in Italian partially translated into English with some very informative quotes on Masonry.

It's by a Fr. Antonio di Monda, apparently the same priest who was the Father Provincial of the future founder of "The Franciscans of the Immaculate", Fr. Stefano Manelli.

I'd like to see a fuller translation and see some of the sources cited someday! If only the Italians I know remembered Italian..

Is there a link for it?
