September: Friendship
“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command… Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.” John 15:12-15
St. Agnes,
Our Patron Saint,
You, Agnes, followed Christ, even to death. Teach us to love Him as you loved Him; to witness to Him as you did, with courage; to put love for Him before our own lives; to renounce the idols presented to us by society; to risk everything in response to His fidelity.
Amen
