(And I loved your qualification -- 'they've been doing it a long time') Our pastor gave a great homily about Agatha a couple years ago -- and spoke of her as protecting purity -- He connected it to her being patroness against fires. She was on fire for love of the Lord, yet so often that fire can be misdirected into lust. But God protected her -- she not only protects against physical fires, but she puts out spiritual fire, and ignites the fire of love for Christ -- what a powerful saint!! Happy Feast, and may St. Agatha's fire ignite (and unite) us all in love for the Lord!Edith Magdalenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000057975723736463noreply@blogger.com
