EMY - December: Praying for Families - Catholic Diocese of Manzini
Catholic Diocese of Manzini > Extraordinary Mission Year > EMY – December: Praying for Families
In 1941, the Nazis imprisoned Father Maximilian in the Auschwitz death camp. He offered his life for another prisoner (a young husband and father) and was condemned to death. He was the last to die, enduring two weeks of starvation, thirst and neglect. This is why St Maximilian Kolbe is the patron saint of families, pro-life and prisoners. His feast day is August 14th.

St. Maximilian Kolbe, you gave your life so that a family might not be deprived of a husband
and father. By your heroic martyrdom of charity, teach us that the value of family life is
worth our sacrifices also. Just as you found in Mary the channel of those graces that
strengthened you to be faithful to her Son, help us to rejoice also in her who was given to us
as a mother by Jesus from the cross. Be with us, St. Maximilian, as we pray for the special
needs of our family (Say petitions here). Amen.
