Agnes was also a saint who, according to legend, was known for her beauty in life. When she was martyred her torturers tried to drag her to a brothel. God protected her from violation of her body, and when they went to burn her the fire wouldn’t touch her. You’re right, too - I believe “Agnes” means “lamb.’
Thanks for this lovely post, Mari! I love the suggestion to think on things we’re proud of. I’m constantly ruminating on past mistakes and it’s never seemed to make me less prone to them!
Reminded me of this video that always brings a happy tear... https://www.google.com/search?q=twinkies+with+god&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1067US1067&oq=twinkies+with+god&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDg0NDRqMGo0qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:f45b2fb7,vid:y9N8OXkN0Rk,st:0
