Oil Dedicated to St Agnes of Rome (Patron for Chastity)

Patroness of Chastity, Young Women, and Courageous Faith

St. Agnes of Rome, a radiant jewel of the early Church, was born into a noble Roman family in the late 3rd century. Even at a young age, Agnes’s heart was captured by Christ’s love, and she vowed her virginity to Him alone. Despite living in a time when Christians were persecuted, and societal pressures encouraged wealth, status, and marriage, Agnes stood firm in her devotion, valuing her spiritual purity above all earthly treasures.

At around 12 or 13 years old, Agnes became the object of many suitors’ affections. When she refused to renounce her faith or her vow of chastity, she was brought before Roman authorities. They tried to break her resolve through intimidation and cruelty, but Agnes remained serene and courageous. Eventually, she suffered martyrdom for her unwavering commitment to Christ, laying down her life as a bride of the Lamb.

For centuries, St. Agnes has been the shining patroness of chastity, purity of heart, and spiritual courage, especially for young women. She reminds us that the beauty of a soul consecrated to God far exceeds the fleeting beauty of this world. Her life encourages us to treasure our dignity, guard our hearts, and offer our bodies and souls as temples of the Holy Spirit.

Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to St. Agnes of Rome is prayerfully prepared in the spirit of her purity and courageous witness. Each bottle is accompanied by a prayer card asking for her intercession—for young people striving to live chastely in today’s world, for those facing temptations against purity, and for anyone desiring a heart wholly dedicated to God.

Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love. Serves as a gentle spiritual reminder of God’s grace in the battle for virtue. May it inspire prayer, strengthen the will, and draw the heart closer to Christ, the true Lover of our souls.

May the life and intercession of St. Agnes help you cherish your God-given dignity, walk in purity, and trust that the Lord alone satisfies the deepest desires of the heart.
