Prayer Novena for the Kolbe Mission

We at the Kolbe Mission put our works into God’s Providential hands. Please join us in prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for the next steps! We are moving forward and in the planning stages with county officials for our residential rehabilitation facility; our design team has given us news that is both exciting and challenging. Our residential home will be built and ready for occupation before the end of 2023, but we need to raise One Million Dollars to make this a reality. Our Novena begins on Friday, August 5, 2022, and ends on August 14, 2022, the Feast Day of our Patron. Please pray this Novena with us. If you miss a day, just jump right back in with everyone else.

By joining forces through the intercession of our Patron, St. Maximilian Kolbe, we place our confidence and faith in God’s Providential Care.

Prayer

Here is the Novena prayer that we will use (it is also here):

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 beseech you to grant us funds, through your Providence, to build a residential rehabilitation home. Through the Militia Immaculata movement, which Maximilian founded, he spread a fervent devotion to Our Lady throughout the world. He gave up his life for a total stranger and loved his persecutors, giving us an example of unselfish love for all people – a love that was inspired by true devotion to your mother Mary.

(Say one Our Father, three Hail Marys, and one Glory Be).

Fasting

Our addicted brothers and sisters are imprisoned by their addictions. Jesus teaches us that, in dire instances, deliverance can only come through prayer and fasting. Please consider fasting one or more days during this Novena. We recommend fasting according to the norms set forth by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops: eat one full meal, as well as two smaller meals that together are not equal to a full meal (see here). Or, if you prefer, you can choose any form of fasting that suits you.

Almsgiving

If you discern that God is calling you to provide from your treasures, please donate here.

    I’m very excited about the upcoming novena. I have experienced the Scripture passage in my own life that things don’t change without prayer (and fasting). I’m looking forward to doing this as a community. I believe that a group of people joined together in prayer and fasting is more powerful. So I would like to thank everybody else who’s joining, knowing that God will move and act in the way he desires.

    I will join the prayer and fasting. May God bless the Kolbe Mission and may our addicted loved ones be healed, body, mind and spirit. Jesus I trust in You!
