St. Agnes Comments
St. Agnes was a Roman girl who was only thirteen years old when she suffered martyrdom for her Faith. Agnes had made a promise, a promise to God never to stain her purity. Her love for the Lord was very great and she hated sin even more than death! Since she was very beautiful, many young men wished to marry Agnes, but she would always say, "Jesus Christ is my only Spouse." Procop, the Governor's son, became very angry when she refused him. ...

st.agnes is very good
We would all do well to also look at the life of Saint Rita. She was faced with a similar crisis but handeled it differently. She marred a most un-Christian man but managed to convert him by the time of his death. His soul was saved. She did the opposite of what Saint Agnes did but both are recognized as being saints.
beautiful story. im taking her as my confirmation saint. i Love her background..if only i have this kind of background.
this is a really really sad but great story. she had so much faith in her. i hope i can be like her one day. We pray for St. Agnes as she lives happily in heaven
I just love this girl! I am going to use her name for my confirmation name!! I'm so excited. P.S. Her name sounds good with mine:)
I love saint Agnes, I pray that youths should emulate her character.
Saint Agnes, pray for me and my family. Be my guardian angel
SHE is my confirmation name......OLV pray for us!
I LOVE THIS SAINT SOOOOOO MUCH!!! she is going to be my confirmation saint!
Saint agnes, being my patron saint is an inspiring saint and i would love all young female youth to emulate her.
We would all do well to compare and contrast the story of St. Agnes with the narrative associated with St. Frances of Rome. St. Frances faced a similar spiritual crisis but handled it differently than St. Agnes. Yet---both are recognized saints.
i am doing a project at school on saint agnes, and i was very lucky to be chosen to do her, she is so interesting, and her story is so sad, but at the same time so inspirational. i think everybody should be like her. too bad they're not. :(
I attended St. Agnes High School in New York City Class of '69. Believe it or not, we were never taught her story. I had no idea that she was a martyr and the story of her faith so powerful and inspiring.
i love st. agnes....she is so faithful to God ,that even her life she sacrificed to God in a very young age........she shows "MARTYRDOM" i know not all people can sacrifice their lives so i'm proud of st.agnes
St ines pray 4 our family.my mom name is agnes en wen i get a baby i wl cal her ines.u r my mirror in faith,b wt me in moments of temptatioos
i was so delighted when i read the article regarding st. agnes(st. ines).when i was at the age of 16 i dreamt st. ines and she talked with me. i saw her face so beautiful and her shining teeth when she talked to me.it's really a blessing when i saw her in my dream.
To the home schooled child, I see your point to Disappointed but I am sure you will agree that the language in the narrative about St Agnes could easily be read as being offensive. Being in a loving marriage is not staining one's purity. I can see how people could be offended by the way it was worded. I hope you can as well.
happy feast day
St Agnes still lives!! She would continue to be a source of inspiration to many.
She is one of the saints whose intercession I request daily to maintain my purity of heart, along with saints; Dymphna, Daria, Maria Goretti & Mary Magdeline!
Agnes is a true role model for the youths especially in these days when sin is fast increasing. May she pray for all youths that they may be strengthened so that they seek purity.
