Painting of Saint Agatha, virgin and martyr, at Saint Agatha's Church, in Saint Louis, Missouri. Photo taken March 5, 2010.
From the Monastic Diurnal, for Vespers:
Blessed Agatha standing in prison with outstretched hands prayed unto the Lord: O Lord Jesus Christ, good Master, I give Thee thanks Who hast enabled me to overcome the tortures of the executioners; bid me, O Lord, come happily to Thine unfading glory.
