Holy Father, I am reflecting upon self-indulgence. I don’t think it should not be: we are not austere middle-age monks. I don’t think it should be systematic either. Could it be the outcome of bargaining oneself for an exceptional effort? This sounds better, but maybe this could be acceptedjust because exceptional conditions allow us to just enjoy a rare opportunity. We can’t balance every effort with an indulgence but we still have to find a little time to enjoy some pleasures which rarity make even more delectable. I pray I remember this.

AGENDA

Today we celebrate Agnes of Rome.

A beautiful young girl from a wealthy family, Agnes had many suitors of high rank, and the young men, slighted by her resolute devotion to religious purity, submitted her name to the pagan authorities as a follower of Christianity. The Prefect Sempronius condemned Agnes to be dragged naked through the streets to a brothel. In one account, 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 immediately struck blind. The son of the prefect was struck dead but revived after she prayed for him, causing her release. There commenced a trial from which Sempronius recused himself, allowing another figure to preside and sentence St. Agnes to death. She was led out and bound 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 her blood poured to the stadium floor where other Christians soaked it up with cloths.
