St. Agatha

"Jesus Christ, Lord of all things! You see my heart, you know my desires. Possess all that I am -- you alone. I am your sheep; make me worthy to overcome the devil."
- St. Agatha (d. 251)



Today is the feast day of St. Agatha. Agatha was a Christian who lived in Sicily in the third century during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Decius. She was arrested, tortured, and finally executed. 



St. Agatha, pray for us!
