St. Maximilian Kolbe, your life of love
and labor for souls was sacrificed
amid the horrors of a concentration
camp and hastened to its end by an
injection of a deadly drug.
Look with compassion upon ... (name)
who is now entrapped in addiction
to drugs and whom we recommend
to your powerful intercession. Having
offered your own life to preserve
that of a family man, we turn to
you with trust, confident that you
will understand and help.
Obtain for us the grace never to withhold our love and understanding,
nor to fail in persevering prayer that the enslaving
bonds of addiction may be broken and that full health and
freedom may be restored to him (her) whom we love.
We will never cease to be grateful to God who has helped us
and heard your prayer for us. Amen.
