Ave Maria Meditations
O Heavenly Father, who raised Agatha to the dignity of sainthood, we implore Your Divine Majesty by her intercession to give us health of mind, body and soul. Free us from all those things which hold us bound to this earth, and let our spirit, like hers, rise to Your heavenly courts. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You, forever. Amen
