Heavenly Father, you drew Saint Agnes away from the pleasures of royalty, and through the lowly way of the Cross led her on to the path of perfection.

Lord, may the gifts we bring you help us follow the example of Saint Agnes. Cleanse us from our earthly way of life, and teach us to live the new life of your kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
