Feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe

Reflection

“Let us remember that love lives through sacrifice and is nourished by giving. Without sacrifice, there is no love.” “A single act of love makes the soul return to life.” ~ Saint Maximilian Kolbe

Prayer

God of courage and compassion, You call us to be people of love. But we know that it can be difficult to love others because love requires so much. Inspire us through the example of Jesus that we might have the courage to love others. May the example of people like Maximilian Kolbe, who volunteered to die in place of a stranger in Auschwitz, help us develop the willingness to sacrifice so that love might live. We pray in your name. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on how much I am willing to sacrifice for others.
