(Franciscan Media) Agnes had no children of her own but was certainly life-giving to all those who knew her. The daughter of Czechoslovakia King Ottokar I and Queen Constance of Hungary, at the age of 3 she was betrothed to the Duke of Silesia (who died three years later) as she grew up, Agnes decided she wanted to enter a religious life.

After declining marriage proposals to King Henry VII of Germany and King Henry III of England and Lord of Ireland, Agnes was faced with a proposal from Frederick II the most Holy  Roman Emperor, Agnes appealed to Pope Gregory IX for help and the Pontiff was persuasive–Fredrick magnanimously said that he could not be offended, if Agnes preferred the King of Heaven to him.

Agnes subsequently built a hospital for the poor, a residence for the Friars and she financed the construction of a ‘Poor Clare Monastery’ in Prague. In 1236, Agnes and seven other Noblewomen entered this monastery. St Clare, sent five Sisters from San Damiano to join them, writing Agnes four letters, advising her on the beauty of her vocation and her duties as the head of the Abbey.

Agnes now the Abbess, preferred to be called ‘Senior Sister’ and became known for prayer, obedience and abstinence but despite her position, she enjoyed cooking for the other Sisters and mending the clothing of lepers–the Sisters found Agnes very kind but strict regarding the observance of poverty–Agnes declined her brother’s offer to establish an endowment for the monastery.

Devotion to Agnes grew following her death on the 06 March, 1282 she was Canonized by Pope Saint John Paul II on the 12 November, 1989 just five days before the start of the ‘Velvet Revolution’ according to Franciscan Tradition which brought down the fall of Communism in Czechoslovakia.

It was on the following Friday that riot police suppressed a student demonstration in Prague, which led to a series of more demonstrations–On the 28 November, less than 3 weeks after Agnes of Bohemia was Canonized, the Communist party announced that it was relinquishing power. Saint Agnes of Bohemia was heralded as the Saint that helped bring down the Communist regime.

Saint Agnes of Bohemia became known as the ‘Princes Nun’ and is revered in the Czech Republic not only for her historical importance but also as a model for behavior today.

An Inspiration Of Time With God For Today

Monday, July 27th, 2020

Statue Down Statue Up  -Pat Cross Cartoons

Do not invite death by the error of your life
or bring on destruction by the works of your hands. –Wisdom 1:12

Exhortation to Uprightness

Love righteousness you rulers of the earth, think of the Lord in goodness and seek Him with

sincerity of heart; because He is found by those who do not put Him to the test and manifests

Himself to those who do not distrust Him. For perverse thoughts separate people from God

and when His power is tested, it exposes the foolish; because wisdom will not enter a deceitful

soul or dwell in a body enslaved to sin. For a holy and disciplined spirit will flee deceit and will

leave foolish thoughts behind and will be ashamed at the approach of unrighteousness.

For wisdom is a kindly spirit but will not free blasphemers from the guilt of their words;

because God is witness of their inmost feelings and a true observers of their hearts and a

hearer of their tongues. Because the Spirit of the Lord has filled the world and that which holds

all things together knows what is said, therefore those who utter unrighteous things will not

escape notice and justice, when it punishes, will not pass them by. For inquiry will be made into

the counsels of the ungodly and a report of their words will come to the Lord, to convict them

of their lawless deeds; because a jealous ear hears all things and the sound of grumbling does

not go unheard. Beware then of useless grumbling and keep your tongue from slander; because

no secret word is without result and a lying mouth destroys the soul.

Do not invite death by the error of your life, or bring on destruction by the works of your

hands; because God did not make death and He does not delight in the death of the living. For

He created all things so that they may exist; the generative forces of the world are wholesome

and there is no destructive poison in them and the dominion of Hades is not on earth. For

righteousness is immortal.

Life as the Ungodly See It

The ungodly by their words and deeds summoned death; considering him a friend they pined

away and made a covenant with him, because they are fit to belong to his company.

For they reasoned unsoundly, saying to themselves, “Short and sorrowful is our life and there

is no remedy when a life comes to its end and no one has been known to return from Hades.

For we were born by mere chance and hereafter we shall be as though we had never been, for

the breath in our nostrils is smoke and reason is a spark kindled by the beating of our hearts;

when it is extinguished, the body will turn to ashes and the spirit will dissolve like empty air.

Our name will be forgotten in time and no one will remember our works; our life will pass

away like the traces of a cloud and be scattered like mist that is chased by the rays of the sun

and overcome by its heat. For our allotted time is the passing of a shadow and there is no

return from our death because it is sealed up and no one turns back. Come, therefore, let us

enjoy the good things that exist and make use of the creation to the full as in youth. Let us take

our fill of costly wine and perfumes and let no flower of spring pass us by. Let us crown

ourselves with rosebuds before they wither. Let none of us fail to share in our revelry;

everywhere let us leave signs of enjoyment because this is our portion and this is our lot. Let us

oppress the righteous poor man; let us not spare the widow or regard the gray hairs of the aged

but let our might be our law of right for what is weak proves itself to be useless. Let us lie in

wait for the righteous man because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions; he

reproaches us for sins against the Law and accuses us of sins against our training. He professes

to have knowledge of God and calls himself a child of the Lord. He became to us a reproof of

our thoughts; the very sight of him is a burden to us because his manner of life is unlike that of

others and his ways are strange. We are considered by him as something base and he avoids

our ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the righteous happy and boasts that God is his

Father. Let us see if his words are true and let us test what will happen at the end of his life; for

if the righteous man is God’s child, He will help him and will deliver him from the hand of his

adversaries. Let us teat him with insult and torture, so that we may find out how gentle he is

and make trial of his forbearance. Let us condemn him to a shameful death, for, according to

what he says, he will be protected.”

Error of the Wicked

Thus they reasoned but they were led astray, for their wickedness blinded them and they did

not know the secret purposes of God, nor hoped for the wages of holiness, nor discerned the

prize for blameless souls; For God created us for incorruption and made us in the image of His

own eternity but through the devil’s envy death entered the world and those who belong yo his

company experience it. –Wisdom 1:1-16-2:1-24
