O Saint Agatha,
who withstood the unwelcome advances
from unwanted suitors, and suffered pain and torture
for your devotion to our Lord, we celebrate your faith,
dignity, and martyrdom.
Protect us against all violations,
guard us against breast cancer
and other afflictions of women,
and inspire us to overcome adversity.
O Saint Agatha, virgin and martyr,
mercifully grant that we who venerate your sacrifice
may receive your help.
Amen.
