PRAYER OF THE DAY

Prayer to St. Agnes, Virgin and Martyr

O Little St. Agnes, 
so young and yet made so strong and wise by the power of God, 
protect by your prayers all the young people of every place whose goodness and purity are threatened 
by the evils and impurities of this world.

Give them strength in temptation and a true repentance when they fail. Help them to find true Christian friends to accompany them in following the Lamb of God and finding safe pastures in His Church and in her holy sacraments.

May you lead us to the wedding banquet of heaven to rejoice with you 
and all the holy virgin martyrs in Christ who lives and reigns forever and ever.

Amen.
