For Maximilian, on the day of his baptism

+Lord, bless and keep Maximilian all the days of his life. May he remain ever faithful to you and your Church. Guide him in ways of goodness and never let him fall away from you. Holy Mary, show Maximilian your son and his sacred heart. Wrap him in the mantle of your love. Be a reminder to him of purity and pray for him. Most chaste St. Joseph, may your example lead Maximilian into a blessed manhood. May he imitate you in your ways with women.

St. Maximilian, pray for us!
Servant of God, Pope John Paul the Great, pray for us!
All of the angels and saints, pray for us!


Amen.
