Saint Agnes of Montepulciano is one of the few canonized nuns of
the Order of Preachers. Never before has her Life by Blessed
Raymond of Capua been translated into the English language. An
historically important prototype of the penitential mysticism
practiced by Dominican women in the Middle Ages, Agnes is referred
to by Saint Catherine of Siena in her letters as "our glorious
mother Agnes." It is the task of today's reader to discover what
the Life of Agnes has to reveal to us about our journey to
holiness, to conformity to Christ. Agnes' administrative feats as
Abbess at only fifteen, her admirable compassion and heroic
perseverance, the impact of her life on those around her, and the
progeny of the mystics who followed in her footsteps reveal to us a
sanctity that can still be aspired to today.
