O Lord Jesus Christ, who said,
"greater love than this no man has
that a man lay down his life for his friends,"
through the intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe
whose life illustrated such love,
we ask You to answer our prayers.
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 fellow man
in imitation of Your humble servant, Maximilian.
Amen.
