NINETH DAY NOVENA IN HONOR TO SAINT AGATHA
Daily Prayer
O Saint Agatha, you made the vow of virginity to Jesus, offering to him your life when you were still young. You kept this vow of virginity in your heart, refusing your suitors ’advances. You were beautiful and innocent and many came seeking your heart. You refuse them all. Your love for Jesus was overwhelming desire. Such love was dangerous, when being a Christian was criminal act. Remember us dear saint, your followers in these difficult times, when vows to virginity are broken easily and many young people are following hedonistic lifestyle. May Jesus be the love of our life and our strength as we confront the many sicknesses of our times, especially cancers, you are the patroness of women who suffer from breast cancer. Grant us, through your intercession, a cure to this sickness and help us carry its pain. Amen.
Day 9 Novena
The artist painted your image, holding your bloodied breasts on a plate—a reflection of the unspeakable pain and suffering you endured for your faith. With deep compassion, we turn to you now, mindful of the many women in our time afflicted by breast cancer.
Like you, they have faced the loss of their breasts, enduring physical pain and emotional anguish caused by this dreaded disease. Through your powerful intercession, we lift up their intentions at the close of this novena.
Saint Agatha, we humbly ask you to whisper our pleas for healing into the ears of Jesus. We feel helpless before this illness that has devastated countless families, but we trust in the mercy and healing power of God.
Have pity on these women, dear Saint, and grant them the grace to overcome their suffering. May they be restored to health, strength, and peace, and may their lives return to a sense of normalcy and joy.
Through Christ, our Lord. Amen
