Prayer To Saint Maximilian Kolbe

O Lord Jesus Christ who said, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” through the intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe, whose life illustrated such love, we beseech You to grant us our petitions. (Mention here the requests you have.)

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 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, St. Maximilian Kolbe. Amen.

Three Hail Mary’s and a Glory Be.

It is an opportunity to gather with others to share your thoughts, ideas and experiences relating to the Sunday readings. All materials are provided, as well as coffee and juice.

Come and join us. All are welcome.

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time 8 August 2021

1 Kings 19:4-8. Psalm 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8- 9. Ephesians 4:30–5:2. John 6:41-51.

“Stop Murmuring.” Elijah is running for his life from King Ahab and Jezebel because he told the truth. He was fed by an angel of the Lord for his forty-day flight. This story is context for the third-Sunday-in-a- row conversation between Jesus and the crowd on bread of life. Perhaps, with a sigh, Jesus says: “Stop murmuring.” Though what I say may be hard to believe, it is true, it is real. I Am living bread. Eat me and live for ever. ♦ What do I believe concerning what looks like bread is more than bread? ♦ How does eating this living bread affect my life? ♦ After sharing in Communion, how can I affect the lives of others?
