Praying the Immaculate Conception with Saint Maximilian Kolbe (1894

“O Immaculate Virgin,
Elected among all women
To give the world the Savior,
Faithful servant of the mystery of Redemption,
Give us to answer the call of Jesus
And follow him on the path of life
Which leads to the Father.

Most Holy Virgin,
Rescue us from sin,
Transform our hearts.
Queen of the apostles,
Make us apostles!
That in your pure hands we become
Docile and loving instruments
To complete purifying and sanctifying
Our sinful world.

Share with us the serious concern
which weighs on your maternal heart,
And also your lively hope:
Let no Man be lost.
May all creation be with you,
O Mother of God, tenderness of the Holy Spirit,
Celebrate the praise of Mercy
And Infinite Love. »
