TeresaBenedicta Posted August 14, 2008 Author Share Posted August 14, 2008 [quote name='MIkolbe' post='1626906' date='Aug 14 2008, 02:36 PM'][i]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. Through the Knights of the 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 all 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 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. [/i][/quote] Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariahLVzJP2 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 St. Max is definitely one of my favorite saints! Last year on his feast day, I was in Aushwitz where he gave his life up. What an amazing saint! St. Maximillian M. Kolbe pray for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
