St. Agatha
St. Agatha was born around 231 in Sicily.
At a young age she dedicated herself to a life of virginity and Jesus.
When she rejected a suitor she was sent first to a brothel and then to prison where she was tortured and mutilated.
Yet she prayed,
“You have protected me from the cradle;
And taken me away from the world.
Receive my soul O Lord.”
She is now the patron of Breast cancer and rape victims.
And her intercession is more important now than ever before.
