As this week marks the feastday of St. Maximilian Kolbe - 14th August - we would like to invite you to use this time, to give a prayer for both Jimmy Aldaoud and his family.
We would also like you to pray for the Chaldean Community Foundation, who are covering the cost of returning Jimmy back to the USA, so that he may receive a Catholic funeral with his family.
St. Maximilian, amidst the hate and lonely misery of Auschwitz, you brought love into the lives of fellow captives, and sowed the seeds of hope amidst despair. You bore witness to the world, by word and deed, that only "Love alone creates."
Help me to become more like yourself. With you and Mary and the Church, may I proclaim that only "Love alone creates." To the hungry and oppressed, the naked and homeless, the scorned and hated, the lonely and despairing, may I proclaim the power of Christ's love, which endures forever and ever.
Amen.
