Novena to Saint Maximilian Kolbe

Follow me in praying daily this novena dedicated to one heroes of our Lady : Saint Maximilian Kolbe . May we find answer and heavenly help to all our prayer request , through great and merciful intercession of Saint Maximilian Kolbe . May his generous and humble life be an example of living for each one of us .

Let us pray :

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...

(
State your intention here.)

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.

Recite the following prayers...

3 Hail Mary...

1 Glory Be...

Saint Maximilian Kolbe pray for us !

Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, for those in my own home and in my family. Amen
