"Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace3 and virtue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve." St. Agnes

Though a youth of twelve when she was martyred for her faith in Christ, she had a keen realization of what was her identity and destiny. She was created and redeemed by Jesus, who shared his divine life with her. She belonged to him. She knew to be with the one who loved her and whom she loved, she had to serve him, even if it meant sacrificing our life, as he sacrificed his life. We too belong to Christ. We too are called to serve him with our life, if we want to be with him eternally. "He who loses his life for my sake, will find life eternal."
