February 5

Feast of  St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr

“She wore the glow of a pure conscience and the crimson of the Lamb’s blood for her cosmetics...Her robe is the mark of her faithful witness to Christ.”

--St. Methodius on St. Agatha

For Reflection:

To what extent is my conscience pure? To what extent do I gratefully bear the blood of the Lamb in and through my struggles and trials? Would someone regard me as a faithful witness to Christ? Why or why not?
