Calling All Knights Of Mary

[immaculata]

I'm a member of the Militia Immaculata and also a Knight at the Foot of the Cross.  The Knights at the Foot of the Cross are a subdivision of the Militia Immaculata.  Typically, these are people afflicted by some extraordinary suffering -- illness, disability, mental problems, death in the family, etc.  There are many things that could "qualify."  The KFCs "participate in 'redemptive suffering' (also called sacrificial or reparational suffering).  This means they offer some of their daily prayers and trials to Jesus and Mary, who apply these gifts where grace is needed most, such as to convert hearts and save souls, to make amends for the sins of others, and ultimately to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus."  The website goes on to say: "Supernaturally, KFCs are perhaps the most important members of the MI -- a spiritual powerhouse."  For more information on the Knights at the Foot of the Cross, click here.

I became a member of the Militia Immaculata on January 1st of this year, the Solemnity of the Mother of God.  I later decided to become a Knight at the Foot of the Cross as well, and I did that on September 15th, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows.  I decided to become a KFC because of my same-sex attractions and the suffering they bring me, and now with the passing of my grandmother I've also been offering up the pain from that as well.

That's amesome, GF! Do you know Michael Newmann? He's a KFC with Muscular Dystrophy, and I've met him several times.. he is SO inspiring!!
