Prayer to the Nowogrodek Martyrs
O most blessed Trinity, we praise and thank you for the example of Blessed Mary Stella and Her Ten Companions, Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth, who by imitating Jesus Christ, offered themselves as a sacrifice of love.
God of mercy and compassion, through the merits of their martyrdom and by their intercession, grant us the grace we humbly ask…(insert intention here)…so that like them, we may witness with our lives to the presence of the Kingdom of God’s love and extend it to the human family throughout the world.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
Blessed Martyred Sisters of Nowogródek, pray for us.
About our martyred sisters
Sr. Mary Stella, CSFN, (Adela Mardosewicz) and her 10 companion sisters were executed by the Nazi regime on Aug. 1, 1943, and buried in a common grave outside Nowgródek, then in Poland, now part of Belarus.
In the wake of mass arrests the previous month in Nowogredek, Sr. Mary Stella and her companions prayed: O God, if sacrifice of life is needed, accept it from us who are free from family obligations and spare those who have wives and children.
Sr. Stella and her 10 companions were beatified by Pope John Paul II.
Please notify the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth at their Generalate in Rome of graces received through the intercession of Blessed Mary Stella and Her Ten Companions. Thank you.
