Prayer
Prayer to St. Maximilian Kolbe
O Lord Jesus Christ who said, “greater
love than this no man has that a man
lay down his life for his friends”, through
the intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe,
whose life illustrated such love, we
beseech You to grant us our petitions.
(here mention the requests you have).
Through the Knights of the Immaculata
movement, which Maximilian founded,
spread a fervent devotion to Our Lady
throughout the world. He gave up his life
for a total stranger and loved his
persecutors, giving us an example of
unselfish love for all men - a love which
was inspired by true devotion to Mary.
Grant O Lord Jesus, that we too may give
ourselves entirely with love to serve You
and love and service of our Heavenly Queen
in order to better love and serve our
fellowman in imitation of your humble
servant. Maximilian.
Amen.
Three Hail Marys and a Glory be.
