Blessed Agnes, standing in the midst of the flames, stretched forth her hands and prayed, saying, O Father Almighty, who alone art to be worshipped, feared, and adored, I give thee thanks for that, through thy holy Son, I have escaped the threats of the sacrilegious tyrant, and, with footstep unstained, have passed over the filthy slough of defilement; and now, behold, I come to thee whom I have loved, have sought, and always longed for.
