I first and foremost dedicate this blog to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I ask the Holy Spirit to guide my words to be faithful to the Gospel and the truth that is Christ!

I further offer this prayer, as I ask publicly, for St. Maximilian Kolbe to be the Patron Saint for this blog.

"O St. Maximilian Kolbe, faithful follower of St. Francis, inflamed by the love of God you dedicated your life to the practice of virtue and to works of the apostolate.

Look down with favor upon us who devoutly confide in your intercession.

Having consecrated yourself to the Immaculate Virgin Mary, you inspired countless souls to a holy life and various forms of the apostolate in order to do good to others and to spread the kingdom of God. Obtain for us the grace by our lives and labors to draw many souls to Christ.

In your close conformity to our Divine Savior you reached such an intense degree of love that you offered your life to save a fellow prisoner. Implore God that we, inflamed by such ardent charity, may through our living faith and our apostolic works witness Christ to others, and thus merit to join you in the blessed vision of God.

Amen."
