O othandekayo we-Sant'Agnese,

Ngenxa yenjabulo enkulu engokomoya owathola ngayo ukushaywa okukhulu,

futhi ukhule ngokwengeziwe othandweni lukaNkulunkulu ukubopha ngokufa kwabalungileyo

Amen.
Wena, ubusisiwe amahlandla ayinkulungwane, noma ucocekile amaSant'Agnese,
wazinikezela kuJesu ngokushesha nje lapho usukwazi ukumazi.
Akukho okukhohlisayo, akukho okuyize emhlabeni, okuwinile.
Ukuzigcina ufanelekile ukukholwa kwakho, waphonsela inselelo ukholo.
Eseshumi nantathu, uJesu wakunika umvuzo osheshayo
ukukhulula emalangabini esigxobo
obeke imali kwababi ababefuna ukufa kwakho.
Yenza, O Saint Agnes, ukuthi ukholo lwami lungagwedli
kunoma obuphi ubufakazi bokuthi uJesu ufuna ukungithumela,
futhi wemukelwe yimi ngothando.
Ngakho-ke ngingaba nelinye ilanga nawe
injabulo engapheli. Amen.
Yeka ukunqoba okuhle kweSant'Agnese yakho enhle
lapho elahlwa yi-Aspasio ukuba
ushisiwe ephila eneminyaka yobudala yeshumi nantathu,
wabona amalangabi ehlukana eduze kwakho
ukukushiya ungalimazi maphakathi, bese uphamba
ngokumelene nomubi oye wafisa ukufa kwakho!
Hhayi le njabulo yasezulwini oyitholile
ukushaya kokugcina, kukwenza impilo yakho uqobo
ukutshala esifubeni sakho inkemba ayefanele ayenze
umnikelo wakho, usincenge sonke ngomusa
ukusekela ngokwakha ukwesula
konke ukushushiswa neziphambano azithandayo
eNkosini ukuzama, nokuqhubeka nokukhula
othandweni lwayo lokubopha ngokufa kwabalungileyo
impilo ehlala inesimilo.
Intombi ekhazimulayo S.Agnese, wena, ophakathi
eRoma lamaqaba, ubukwazi ukuthi ungazigcina umsulwa kanjani futhi ungenacala futhi,
Ijuba elimhlophe, wandizela phezu kwakho, ngaphandle kokukushaya,

phakathi kwamaphutha obuhedeni, ubukwazi ukuwagcina
futhi ugcine umcebo oyigugu wokholo lobuKristu:
wena, owawuneminyaka eyi-13 kuphela, waba nesibindi sokusekela ukubulawelwa ukholo,
kunokuba yehluleke ebuntombini obungcwele,
ukuthi ngabe uzinikezele futhi uzinikele kuJesu: deh! okuzuziwe
woMyeni wakho waphezulu, futhi owakho, ngithathe ngaphansi kwesakho
ukubonwa okumnandi nokunamandla. Ngiyekeni ngizigcine
ihlala ihlanzekile futhi imsulwa phakathi kokuhlaselwa izinkanuko
naphakathi kokukhohlakala kwalelikhulu leminyaka:
makugcine ilangabi lokukholwa liphila
phakathi kokunganaki nokungakholelwa emhlabeni:
ekugcineni, mangivumele ukuzithoba kunoma ngubani
ukungakhululeki noma ukuhlupheka kunokuba kwehluleke emsebenzini wami.
Amen.
