In 1934, St. Maximilian Kolbe wrote in letter from Japan: “I picture a beautiful statue of the Immaculate within a large altar, and in front of her, between spread arms -- a monstrance in perpetual exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.”

In 2017 this was realized. The adoration chapel in Niepokalanow is one of 8 places in the world, where people pray for peace and reconciliation. That is why it is also known as the Peace Chapel. A special indulgence is granted to those who visit, even virtually.

You will receive under the normal conditions: being in the state of sanctifying grace, pious Holy Communion, remorse for sin, prayer and adoration, ending with “Our Father / Apostles’ Creed / 'Holy Virgin Mary, pray for us' and 'St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe, pray for us.'"

The Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is broadcast all day, every day. The Peace Chapel is currently the largest Catholic virtual adoration chapel in the world. EWTN Poland is responsible for the live transmission.

THE PORTIUNCULA INDULGENCE

The Portiuncula Indulgence is the first plenary indulgence ever granted in the Roman Catholic Church. One who gains the Portiuncula Indulgence is freed from all temporal punishments and becomes as pure as after Baptism.

St. Francis of Assisi persuaded Pope Honorius III to grant a plenary indulgence to all who visit the Portiuncula (Little Portion) on the 2nd day of August and confess their sins. This indulgence has been extended to all Catholic churches throughout the world.

And a prayer for the Pope’s Intentions 

(After Mass).

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, QUEEN OF THE ANGELS

In 1863, a Bernardine Sister was shown in spirit the vast desolation caused by the Devil throughout the world. At the same time, she heard the Blessed Virgin Mary telling her it was true. Hell had been let loose upon the earth. The time had come to pray to her as “Queen of the Angels” and to ask of her the assistance of the Heavenly Legions to fight against these deadly foes of God and men.

Our Lady communicated the following prayer (approved by the Church). A person who says this prayer receives a 300 day indulgence. _ Catholic Online

 

  

“In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

Most Blessed Virgin Mary,

Queen of Heaven!

Sovereign Mistress of the Angels!

Thou who from the beginning 

hast received from God

the power and mission to 

crush the head of Satan,

we humbly beseech thee to 

send thy holy Legions,

that, under thy command and

by thy power,

they may pursue the evil spirits, 

encounter them on every side,

resist their bold attacks 

and drive them hence

into the abyss of eternal woe.

Amen.

Most holy Mother,

send thy Angels to defend us

and to drive the cruel enemy from us.

Amen.

All ye holy Angels and Archangels 

help and defend us.

“In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”
