Saint of the Day
St. Agnes of Montepulciano (1268-1317)
Agnes entered a monastery at nine, became abbess at fifteen, and founded a Dominican convent at Montepulciano, which she governed until her death. She lived off bread and water, slept on the ground, and used a stone for a pillow.
Reflections from the Saints
God in his omnipotence could not give more, in His wisdom He knew not how to give more, in His riches He had not more to give, than the Eucharist.
– St. Augustine
