Let us remember that we are in the holy presence of God.
O glorious St. Agnes, you served God in humility and confidence on earth and are now in the enjoyment of His beatific Vision in heaven because you persevered till death and gained the crown of eternal life. Remember now the dangers that surround me in the vale of tears, and intercede for me in my needs and troubles. Amen.
Saint John Baptist de La Salle…pray for us.
Live Jesus in our hearts…forever!
