Novena Prayer To St Max

Novena Prayer to Saint Maximilian Kolbe.
The paper holy card is 3 1/4" x 5 3/8".

Lord Jesus Christ, you said "Greater love than this no man has than 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 our petitions. [Mention special requests.]

Through the Militia of the Immaculata movement which St. 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, that we too may give ourselves entirely without reserve to the love and service of our heavenly Queen in order that we better love and serve our fellow man in the imitation of you humble servant, Maximilian. Amen.
[Three Hail Marys and a Glory Be.]
