All-powerful God, you endowed your just servant St. Maximillian Kolbe with courage in prayer and love in deeds. In hope we pray:
O God, come to our aid.
O God, come to our aid. Deepen advocacy for the dignity of life for everyone, from conception to death.
O God, come to our aid.
Show us how we may reach out to those who are addicted to drugs or alcohol.
O God, come to our aid.
Heal those who suffer slander or betrayal.
O God, come to our aid.
Our Father . . .
May God strengthen us to live all our days in love and peace, through Jesus our brother. Amen.
