Ubi Petrus » saints http://ubipetrus.stblogs.com Ubi Petrus ibi ecclesia, et ibi ecclesia vita eterna - Where there is Peter there is the Church, where there is the Church there is life eternal! -- St. Ambrose of Milan Sun, 01 Feb 2009 23:58:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 en hourly 1 St. Agnes http://ubipetrus.stblogs.com/2009/01/st-agnes/ http://ubipetrus.stblogs.com/2009/01/st-agnes/#comments Wed, 21 Jan 2009 23:49:32 +0000 ubipetrus http://ubipetrus.stblogs.com/?p=943 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.

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!
