Prayer to St. Maximilan Kolbe on the Use of Technology
by Sr. Mary Kansier, MS

Heavenly Father, Your loving servant Maximilian Kolbe spent his life in service to others, using technology to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.

You crowned his life with the grace to give his life for another, in imitation of Jesus who said, “There is no greater love than to lay down your life for a friend.”

Through the intercession of St. Maximilian, may we always use technology for Your Glory and to draw others close to You and Your Blessed Mother Mary.

St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us. Amen.

Without love, I am nothing.

I am an irritating noise.
All that I do — even the good things for God — means nothing.
All my little sacrifices mean nothing, without love.

There is no room for any kind of pride.
No room for anger.
No room for a memory that keeps track of hurts and cheats.

Love is difficult.
Love is work.
Love is against my nature.
Love is not easily made angry.
There is no score.
Forgiveness is unlimited, and daily.
It can’t stand seeing another in pain.

I may have great faith and live by all the rules,
but if I do not have this love,
I AM NOTHING.

I am no longer to behave like a spoiled child.
Selfish,
pouting,
wanting my way.

Love demands more from me than that.

I don’t even begin to understand how important this love is, this side of heaven.

But I will someday.

Without love,
I am nothing.

Lord,

Help us to turn to each other and not on each other.

Help us to make better choices.

to love, not hate,

inclusion, not exclusion
