If you are at all interested in Saint Agnes and the role of her cult role in history and culture (and that role is considerable), I can highly recommend a book by Margaret Visser called The Geometry of Love. I don't give a link as this site is not monetized so I have no financial interest in directing you to any particular seller. It is still in print and available at the usual vendors. And check your local library as well.
It's a book about a church—Saint Agnes Without the Walls in Rome—but it includes a simply fascinating account of culture, history and theology behind Agnes. If you read it, I guarantee you will come away learning something that will enrich your life.
Today is also the day of my pastoral visit so not much blogging this morning anyway.
The person I visit is awaiting a test result that could mean the difference between life and death. There are. of course, many things to pray about in this world but if you have a prayer to spare, it would certainly not go amiss.
