The "Novena to St. Agnes" is a powerful devotional prayer dedicated to one of the most beloved virgin martyrs of the early Church. St. Agnes was a young Roman girl who, at just 12 or 13 years old, chose martyrdom rather than renounce her faith and marry a pagan nobleman in the 4th century. Known for her unwavering devotion to Christ and her commitment to purity, St. Agnes is often depicted holding a lamb, symbolizing her innocence and her name's connection to "agnus" (lamb in Latin).
*Novena to St. Agnes (with Litany)*
St. Agnes, who believed in God with your whole heart, and with joy suffered death by martyrdom for the One who died for all of us, I ask you to humbly deign to intercede for me in every minute of this day and to obtain for me my request: (Mention your petitions now)
Let your prayer give me comfort in times of trials and torments. Be my friend in times of loneliness and abandonment, and obtain for me from your Spouse, Jesus Christ, the eternal happiness in Heaven.
Holy innocent virgin, who paid the greatest price for preserving fidelity to Christ, obtain for me the grace of complete purity of the soul and the body. Amen.
