Within the Marytown structure
Bro. Augustine shares an administrative role with Fr. John Grigus, the Rector of Marytown.
For the internal day to day running
of Marytown Bro. Augustine keeps
connected with every department; retreat house, building maintenance, gift
shop and all the rest. He also serves
as sacristan; making sure that everything needed for liturgical services
is ready and kept in good order. Bro.
Augustine likes to describe his work at
Marytown as FUN—Fulfilling Un-met
Needs—24/7.
Before assuming the role of Guardian, Brother Augustine served for
many years as tailor for the Conventual Franciscan friars around the
rother Augustine is a native of
Brooklyn, New York. He entered the Conventual Franciscan
Friars in August, 1976; serving for
many years in the east coast province and coming to Marytown in
1999 as a member of the province of
St. Bonaventure.
As Guardian of Our Lady of Fatima Friary at Marytown, Bro. Augustine’s primary responsibility is to
ensure an environment and atmosphere in which the Franciscan friars can live their religious vows, and
observe the Rule and Constitution
of the Order as faithfully as possible.
Bro. Augustine is responsible for the
spiritual and physical well being of
each friar.

country, having

As a hobby he
makes the allnatural
soaps
that are sold in

About the people who come to
Marytown Bro. Augustine says,
“I am very deeply impressed by the
spirit of prayer and devotion
expresssed by the people who come
to Marytown on a regular basis and
as pilgrims; and I am so grateful for
the generosity of our friends and
benefactors.”
Blessed are Those who Mourn,
for They Shall be Comforted
Week 17, December 4—11
W
hen one thinks of St.
Maximilian what is
the first thing that comes to
mind? For some it may be
Our Lady and Consecration;
or the apparition of the two
crowns, or the Militia of the
Immaculata or his death in
Auschwitz. How many people however think of tears?
Maximilian was a man
familiar with tears.
He was a man who
mourned and because he
did, he allowed God and Our
Lady to comfort him for only
those who mourn can be comforted.
As a young boy, Raymond
mourned that he had hurt his
mother’s feelings when she asked
him what would become of him
and then Our Lady appeared to
him to comfort him with the vision of the Two Crowns.
As a seminarian, Maximilian was moved to tears as he was
walking back to seminary one
evening as he heard men on the
street mocking and making fun of
the Blessed Mother.
Maximilian mourned that his
beloved Poland ceased to exist
and had been carved up between
Germany, Russia and Austria.
As a young boy, Maximilian
mourned the separation from his
parents as he left for the seminary
in Austria not certain when he
would be able to return and see
them again, just as he mourned
for his beloved Poland and Friars
with longing as he went to faraway Japan as a missionary.
He mourned his health as he
went to the sanatorium in Zakopane, uncertain if he would ever
regain it again.
He mourned the end of his
dream as his brothers left Niepekalanow and the Nazis marched
through Poland.
Lastly, he mourned the man
who had a wife and children
and was selected to go into
the starvation bunker in
Auschwitz, causing him to
console him with his very
own life.
In all of his mourning, Maximilian was either
comforted by Our Lady, or he
reached out to comfort others who were mourning. But
in his mourning, never did
he despair, not even in the
starvation bunker as he led
the other nine prisoners in
hymns and psalms and inspired
songs.
Prayer
O Lord, how blessed am I when I
mourn, for you are ever with me
in your consolation. May I in turn
reach out to those who mourn
with the same conflation you have
given to me in mine.
Meditations and Questions

How did Our Lady comfort
Maximilian?

6. Does God Mourn over our
sins and suffering?
