On this Memorial of Saint Agatha, we remember a woman who consecrated her life to God and refused to surrender her dignity to injustice. Her martyrdom witnesses courage and faith. She intercedes for breast cancer patients and survivors of sexual violence. #jesus #jesuschrist #catholic #saintagatha
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
— Amen.
