The patron saintSt. AgnesSoonFor the purity of heart
O beloved messenger of the Incarnation, please come to all those for whom I seek peace and joy. Spread your protective wings over the cradles of infants, O you who heralded the arrival of the Christ Child. Bestow upon the young a petal from the lily that represents your pure authority. Let the Hail Mary resonate in every heart, leading them to discover grace and happiness through Mary. Lastly, remind us of the profound words spoken on the day of the Annunciation: "Nothing is impossible with God," and bring them back to the minds of those I cherish during times of difficulty, renewing their faith in Our Lord when all human support is absent. Amen.
