| Saint Agnes of Rome was only thirteen years old when she gave her life for the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| Because of her Christian faith, she was tortured with fire and killed by beheading. |
| Saint Agnes was martyred in the year 305 A.D. |
| The ancient Greek name "Agnes" means "pure." |
| We honor this Holy Virgin Martyr on January 21. |
| Wonder-working Virgin Martyr Agnes, as we honor your holy memory, we ask for the miracle of strength in suffering. Amen. |
