'Time što je Edith Stein bila i Židovka i katolkinja, potpuno se identificirala i sa Židovima po krvi i s Crkvom po vjeri, te je stoga mogla na jedinstven način prinijeti patnje Židova na Kristov križ.'
Roy H. Schoeman

Happy St Agnes Eve!

Upon St Agnes’ Eve,
Young virgins might have visions of delight,
And soft adorings from their loves receive ...

Traditionally it is the night where unwed women perform rituals before bed to dream of their future husbands.

So who was St Agnes? She was a Roman woman who lived in the early 4th century. A Prefect wanted to find his son a wife and picked Agnes as the proposed bride. Agnes however, determined to remain pure and devote herself to religious piety, refused and declared "Jesus Christ is my only spouse".

As a punishment, the Prefect sent her to a public brothel, but the "Hand of God" intervened; all the men who attempted to rape her were immediately struck blind or rendered paralysed. They attempted to burn her at the stake but the kindling would not ignite. Eventually a centurion beheaded and martyred Agnes.

To find out who your husband will be, follow these instructions to the letter: "...three girls are required to make a dumb cake. Two must make it, two bake it, two break it, and the third put a piece under each of their pillows. Strict silence must be preserved."

St. Teresa of Avila writes:

"All of us who wear this holy habit of Carmel are called to prayer and contemplation. This explains our origin; we are the descendants of those who felt this call, of those holy fathers on Mount Carmel who in such great solitude and contempt for the world sought this treasure, this precious pearl of contemplation that we are speaking about."
(The Interior Castle, Fifth Mansion, Ch. 1, no. 2)
