Lord God, you showered heavenly gifts on the virgin Agatha. Hear the prayers of those who recall her devoted life and who ask her to intercede for them in their necessity. 

(Mention your intention here...)

Help us to imitate her virtue during our earthly life and enjoy eternal happiness with her in heaven. Amen.

O God, Who among the other marvels of Thy power, hast granted even to the weaker sex the victory of martyrdom; mercifully grant: that we who celebrate the Heavenly birthday of blessed Agatha, Thy Virgin and Martyr, may, by her example, draw nearer to Thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.

Dear Virgin and Martyr, whom the Church recalls in her liturgy, you heroically resisted the temptations of a degenerate ruler. Subjected to long and horrible tortures, you remained faithful to your heavenly Spouse. Saint Peter, we are told, gave you some solace and so you are invoked by nurses. Encourage them to see Christ in the sick and to render true service to them. Amen.
