                                            St. Agatha
                                            You, God 
                                            has made members of Christ Jesus, 
                                            and by God's doing He has become our 
                                            wisdom and Our virtue and Our holiness 
                                            and Our freedom
                                            1 Corinthians 
                                            1:26-31  
                                            The loving Heavenly Father has 
                                              created every child of man whoever 
                                              lived and called each one into His 
                                              glorious Presence. Each one He has 
                                              endowed with faculties to relate 
                                              to others in His world and to the 
                                              purpose of his life as he desires 
                                              to know and find and follow.
                                            Before time was the Father, in 
                                              His love for His created world, 
                                              appointed Me to train and tend each 
                                              one of His beloved children, to 
                                              bring each one to second birth through 
                                              love and self-giving. In time I 
                                              lived and died and rose again that 
                                              through my saving love all looking 
                                              for the truth, despite their sin 
                                              and failure, might find it. I have 
                                              accomplished for all times and peoples 
                                              and for every child of man that 
                                              which the Father willed and purposed: 
                                              and through My victory each one 
                                              may have eternal life as he responds 
                                              in love and trust and in self-giving. 
                                              So I become to all the faithful 
                                              their freedom, virtue and their 
                                              holiness to bring them to perfection 
                                              and fulfilment in the Father's Presence.
