St. Agatha, please pray for me. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and am facing surgery in both breasts very soon. My mother passed away about four months ago, so I don't have her here to talk to. I'm managing to stay strong in front of my husband, two grown daughters and 16-month-old granddaughter, but I'm so scared! Please help me to be strong, so that I can get through all that lies ahead. Thank you, St. Agatha.

Dear St. Agatha: FEMA has over 600 concentration camps built or renovated by Halliburton. These camps have no windows in the buildings and gas pipes going into the buildings. Americans who oppose abortion are called terrorists by somemembers of the police. Will those called terrorists be sent to these camps which are now apparently empty? St. Agatha if opponents of abortion are sent to these camps, please ask Our Divine Lord to give us great graces to persevere and have the great grace of final persseverance!

Free us from all those things which hold us bound to this earth, and let our spirit, like hers, rise to your heavenly courts.

My wife was 34, in 2006, when diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer... She was a non catholic at the time... We prayed to my saints, Padre Pio and Blessed John Paul II... She was given the prognosis of being cancer free in July 2010, in April 2011 she came into our Catholic Family via RCiA and the Vigil mass.... Her confirmation name and patron saint is St Agatha.... I need HELP! I'm looking for devotional candles for St Agatha... We have my Padre Pio, JPII, Fatima, and other Catholic candles at home... I haven't been able to find one specially for my wife and it would mean so much to us.... Does any one here have any suggestions to vendors? Thanks and God Bless You All..

About two to three years ago, i finally learnt that saint agatha is my guardian angel, and at this very moment, i finally learnt some facts about St.Agatha which i am so humble and proud that St.Agatha is my saint.
Dear St.Agatha,
In Jesus name and Our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary i humbly pray for all my sins that i have committed in the past and present, also i pray to the Lord that He may guide me throughout the rest of my life-journey, particularly in complex situations and decisions i have to make. Not forgetting i pray for all my brothers and sisters whom are very unfortunate as they slowly die from hunger and poverty, also i pray for our abandon elderly. Lastly, i pray for all sinners across our earthly planet, especially for those whom have lost faith or have not yet encounter our only almighty God. Amen.
