Prayers from the Heart: The Prayer Book of St. Maximilian Kolbe s Militia of the Immaculata Sale

* PRAYERS to the Trinity, to Our Lady, 

to the Saints. 

PRAYERS of Consecration, Repentance, 

Inner Healing. 

PRAYERS to and by the  Prophet of the 

Civilization of Love.  

A tried-and-true Catholic prayer form is formal prayer. This 

Ameans reading aloud, memorizing or meditating upon the 

written prayer words of other Christians who have gone before 

us. Formal pray is especially helpful when worshipping as a group, 

or when struggling to express our deepest feelings of reverence. 

Prayers from the Heart contains formal prayers dear to mem- 

bers of St. Maximilian Kolbe s movement of Marian Consecra- 

tion, the Militia of the Immaculata. But it is meant to be a spiri- 

tual help for all Christians. 

The categories are thorough: Traditional prayers, Eucharistic 

prayers, prayers calling upon the intercession of the saints and 

the Blessed Mother, prayers of support in our struggle against sin 

and the ills of our modern age, such as eating disorders and the 

woundedness caused by abortion. 

The last chapter of Prayers from the Heart explains the funda- 

mentals of Marian consecration, and offers resources according 

to the spiritual tradition of St. Maximilian. Pope John Paul Il has 

called this great saint who died in the death camp of Auschwitz 

 patron of our difficult age  and  prophet of the civilization of 

love.  Never hesitate to call upon St. Maximilian in times of need.
