O glorious virgin and martyr Saint Agatha, you who from the earliest age consecrated to God your mind and heart, you who imitated the immaculate Lamb in the exalted purity of life, in the exercise of the most heroic virtues in the glorious struggle of martyrdom, Pray for us, obtain for us to resemble you: that the divine faith illumines our mind and moves our actions; that we are and we show ourselves everywhere Christians, without human respect; that we obtain for your merits the triumph over our passions and the assaults of satan; that we, like you, may be made worthy to exercise a holy apostolate for the sake of others; that we attain the end by which the good God created us and redeemed us, the blessed crown of heaven.
Amen.
