Novena 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 Militia Immaculata
movement, which Maximilian founded,
he 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 that was inspired by
true devotion to Mary.
Grant, O Lord Jesus, that we too may
give ourselves entirely without
reserve to the love and service of
our Heavenly Queen in order to
better love and serve our fellowman
in imitation of your humble servant,
Maximilian. Amen.
(Say 3 Hail Marys and a
Glory Be)
