Saint Agnes

The question might have seemed silly to someone else. The choice was to have all the privileges and wealth of the society of her time, or die a cruel and most painful death. Surprisingly, Agnes chose the later. Was she crazy? She thought the price to pay for the first one was far too high: she would have to break her promise to follow Christ.

Your turn:

  • What would you choose?

Prayer

You, Agnes, have followed Christ unto giving your life for him. Make us love him as you loved him, confess him with the courage you confessed him, place his love in front of our physical life; may we be able to renounce the idols that society offers us and risk everything as a response to his faithfulness to us. Amen. (Saint Peter Poveda)
