O glorious Saint Agnes, by the living faith which animated you from your tender years and rendered you so pleasing to God that you did merit a martyr's crown: obtain for us the grace to keep our holy faith pure within us and to profess ourselves Christians in both word and work. May our open confession of Jesus before men cause Him to bear a favorable witness to us before His eternal Father. O invincible Martyr, Saint Agnes, by your confidence in God's help, obtain for us from Almighty God the forgiveness of our sins and sure confidence that He will bestow upon us life everlasting and the means necessary to merit it. O courageous maiden, Saint Agnes most pure, by the burning love with which your heart was on fire, obtain for us from Almighty God that every unclean flame may be extinguished in us and only the fire of Divine Love may burn within us. Amen.
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
— Philippians 4:13
