"Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve."

                                           ~St. Agnes

For Reflection:

What "jewels of grace and virtue" do I possess? I will praise and thank God for them and seek to live them to the full. (Hint: To answer the question, consider what others compliment you on or say they admire about you.)

It is a prayer that unites various petitions which the Lord had taught them at different times. The seven requests have such a simplicity in them that even a child can learn them, but at the same time such a depth that a whole life can be spent meditating on their meaning. The first words of the Lord's prayer are Abba, Father. Jesus chose the word Jewish children used to address their fathers. This was the word He found most suitable for invoking the Creator of the entire Universe. Abba! Father!
