Prayer to St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Lord Jesus Christ, who said, 'Greater love than this no one has than to 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 petition. (Mention it.) Through the Militia Immaculata movement he founded, he strove to lead all people to a knowledge and love of you through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Grant 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 fellow men, and so bring peace to a world in need. Amen.
