St. Agnes
I was going to write this long, winding post all about the saint whose feast we celebrate today, St. Agnes. But then I read Fr. Z’s post and he pretty much covered everything you could want to know. A couple of other links that could be of interest:
- St. Agnes on Wikipedia
- St. Agnes on Domestic Church
- St. Agnes in the Catholic Encyclopedia
- Argent’s post on St. Agnes
In this day and age when so many have lost grasp of the beauty and value of virginity – indeed, sexual purity in any form – she is a saint the world definitely needs. May we learn from her example how to love the Lord completely and not be drawn from Him by anyone. St. Agnes, ora pro nobis!
