    St. Agatha

    Born of a rich, illustrious family, Agatha consecrated her heart to God from early youth, and was martyred for her devotion to chastity.

    Quintianus, who then governed Sicily, had heard of Agatha’s beauty and wealth and took advantage of the laws against the Christians to summon her to him. Agatha wept and prayed for courage and strength during her journey. When she appeared before Quintianus he ordered her to be placed for a whole month in the hands of a most wicked woman. Agatha’s trust in God was not in vain, for He preserved her from all the assaults and stratagems against her purity. Quintianus upon learning of the child’s constancy, at the end of that period ordered her to be brought before him once again.

    A steadfast faith

    The judge, offended by Agatha’s firm answers, commanded that she be whipped and taken to prison. Joyously she accepted this sentence, devoting her future to God. The following day she was brought again before the tribunal. Because of her firm determination not to commit sin, Quintianus then ordered her to be stretched on the rack.

    Seeing the holy virgin suffering cheerfully, he commanded that her breasts be cut off. She was again imprisoned, where she was to be deprived of medication and food. But God Himself was to be her physician. St. Peter in a vision comforted Agatha and healed her wounds. Four days later Quintianus, unmoved by the miraculous cure, caused Agatha to be rolled naked over live coals mixed with broken potsherds.

    While being carried back to prison, St. Agatha prayed: “Lord, my Creator, You have protected me from the cradle. You have taken from me the love of the world and given me patience to suffer; receive now my soul”. After which words she peacefully surrendered her soul to God.

    During eruptions of Mount Etna the veil of St. Agatha was carried in procession and the city of Catania was frequently saved from destruction. Through her intercession the island of Malta, of which she is the patroness, was preserved from the Turks, who invaded it in 1551.
