Music Director Mr. Tarcisio Pono Prayer to Saint Maximilian Kolbe
We rejoice in your elevation to the honors of the altar, dear St. Maximilian Kolbe. We thank you and praise God for your loyalty to Christ, your devotion to Mary Immaculate, your total surrender to the divine will.
In the midst of painful trials, you had the courage to say: “For Jesus Christ I am prepared to suffer still more.” Generous to the end, you volunteered to lay down your life for a prisoner sentenced to die by starvation.
With confidence in your power of intercession, we now present our needs to you. (Here mention your prayer request.) Obtain for us also to abide always in God’s friendship, that we may glorify Him with you in heaven for all eternity. Amen.
