Ave Maria Mediations
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us Your martyr, St. Agatha, as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You she showed in choosing to pursue the vocation of consecrated virginity from a young age.
St. Agatha, you chose to make a vow of virginity and consecrate yourself to God when you were just fifteen years old. You must have known that this path was not an easy one, since you lived in a society that was hostile to Christianity. But you desired to dedicate yourself to God.
Please bring my petitions before God Whom you longed to serve!
You held fast to your vow of virginity, your vocation, and your Faith, despite many sufferings. Pray for me, that I may hold fast to my Faith no matter the cost. Pray that I may be zealous in my desire to serve God, as you were.
Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).
St. Agatha, pray for us!
From a Novena to St. Agatha
