Prisoner’s Prayer to St. Maximilian Kolbe
O Prisoner-Saint of Auschwitz, help me in my plight.
Introduce me to Mary, the Immaculata, Mother of God.
She prayed for Jesus in a Jerusalem jail.
She prayed for you in a Nazi prison camp.
Ask her to comfort me in my confinement.
May she teach me always to be good.
If I am lonely, may she say “God is here.”
If I feel hate, may she say “God is love.”
If I am tempted, may she say “God is pure.”
If I sin, may she say “God is mercy.”
If I am in darkness, may she say “God is light.”
If I am unjustly condemned, may she say “God is truth.”
If I have pain in soul or body, may she say “God is peace.”
If I lose hope, may she say: “God is with you all days, and so am I.”
Amen.
