SUMMARY:Saint Agnes
DESCRIPTION:Saint Agnes\nSaint of the Day for January 21\n(d. c. 258)\nClick to hear audio clip ►\nSaint Agnes’ Story\nAlmost nothing is known of this saint except that she was very young—12 or 13—when she was martyred in the last half of the third century. Various modes of death have been suggested—beheading\, burning\, strangling. \nLegend has it that Agnes was a beautiful girl whom many young men wanted to marry. Among those she refused\, one reported her to the authorities for being a Christian. She was arrested and confined to a house of prostitution. The legend continues that a man who looked upon her lustfully lost his sight and had it restored by her prayer. Agnes was condemned\, executed\, and buried near Rome in a catacomb that eventually was named after her. The daughter of Constantine built a basilica in her honor. \n\nReflection\nLike that of Maria Goretti in the 20th century\, the martyrdom of a virginal young girl made a deep impression on a society enslaved to a materialistic outlook. Also like Agatha\, who died in similar circumstances\, Agnes is a symbol that holiness does not depend on length of years\, experience\, or human effort. It is a gift God offers to all. \n\nSaint Agnes is the Patron Saint of:\nGirls\nGirl Scouts \n\nAnother Saint of the Day for January 21 is Servant of God Juan Padilla.
