We pray to the Lord:

Word of Life Bulletin Brief January 20, 2013

There is also a need to acknowledge

and promote the natural structure of

marriage as the union of a man and a

woman in the face of attempts to

make it juridically equivalent to radi-

cally different types of union; such

attempts actually harm and help to

destabilize marriage, obscuring its

specific nature and its indispensable

role in society.

St Agnes of Rome, Feast Day January 21st

Agnes of Rome (c. 291 – c. 304) is a virgin–martyr, venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, the Anglican Communion, and Lutheranism. She is one of

seven women, excluding the Blessed Virgin, commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass.

She is the patron saint of chastity, gardeners, girls, engaged couples, rape victims, and virgins.

She is also known as Saint Agnes and Saint Ines. Her memorial, which commemorates her martyrdom, is 21 January in both the Roman Catholic calendar of saints and in the General Ro-

man Calendar of 1962. The 1962 calendar includes a second feast on 28 January,[1] which commemorates her birth-day. Agnes is depicted in art with a lamb, as her name resembles the Latin word for "lamb", agnus. The name "Agnes" is actually derived from the feminine Greek adjective "hagnē" (ἁγνή) meaning "chaste, pure, sacred". According to tradition, Saint Agnes was a member of the Roman nobility born c. 291 and raised in a Christian fam-

ily. She suffered martyrdom at the age of twelve[2] or thirteen during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, on

21 January 304.

The Prefect Sempronius wished Agnes to marry his son, and on Agnes' refusal he condemned her to death. As Ro-

man law did not permit the execution of virgins, Sempronius had a naked Agnes dragged through the streets to a

brothel. Various versions of the legend give different methods of escape from this predicament. In one, as she prayed, her hair grew and covered her body. It was also said that all of the men who attempted to rape her were im-

mediately struck blind. In another the son of the prefect is struck dead, but revived after Agnes prayed for him, caus-

ing her release. There is then a trial from which Sempronius excuses himself, and another figure presides, sentencing

her to death. When led out to die she was tied to a stake, but the bundle of wood would not burn, or the flames parted

away from her, whereupon the officer in charge of the troops drew his sword and beheaded her, or, in some other

texts, stabbed her in the throat. It is also said that the blood of Agnes poured to the stadium floor where other Chris-

tians soaked up the blood with cloths.

A few days after Agnes' death, her foster-sister, Saint Emerentiana was found praying by her tomb; she claimed to be

the daughter of Agnes' wet nurse, and was stoned to death after refusing to leave the place and reprimanding the pa-

gans for killing her foster sister. Emerentiana was also later canonized. The daughter of Constantine I, Saint Con-

stance, was also said to have been cured of leprosy after praying at Agnes' tomb. Emerentiana and Constance appear

in the scenes from the life of Agnes on the 14th-century Royal Gold Cup in the British Museum.

Agnes' bones are conserved beneath the high altar in the church of Sant'Agnese fuori le mura in Rome, built over the

catacomb that housed Agnes' tomb. Her skull is preserved in a separate chapel in the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone

in Rome's Piazza Navona.

An early account of Agnes' death, stressing her steadfastness and virginity, but not the legendary features of the tradi-tion, is given by Saint Ambrose.[2]

An interesting custom is observed on her feast day. Two lambs are brought from the Trappist abbey of Tre Fontane

in Rome to the pope to be blessed. On Holy Thursday they are shorn, and from the wool is woven the pallium which

the pope gives to a newly consecrated metropolitan archbishop as a sign of his jurisdiction and his union with the

pope.
