St. Pelagia

Above is St. Pelagia and her great beauty attracting all the men.. I guess this was before her conversion...

Pelagia, was an actress of Antioch, equally celebrated for her beauty, her wealth and the disorder of her life.  One day she went to hear Bishop St. Nossus preach and was so touched she asked him to baptize her. She gave all her wealth to him to use for the poor and left the town in men's clothing and became a hermitess. She became known as "the beardless monk" until her sex was discovered at her death.

Well 1st off- WOW! What a strong woman! The beardless monk!? This lady had so much wealth as an actress but that wasn't enough. She's a rolemodel to all. Leave your things behind and follow Christ! I think it also goes to show how much the heart the truly knows what it needs, what you soul is always searching for. After one preaching from the bishop she turned 180, because she found truth, the truth that her soul was longing for. And MAN how courageous!

2nd- No offense... but what's with all the hermits being cannonized aroud the same time!? Yesterdays saint (which I skipped) was a hermit too! THATS 3 IN A ROW! Living it out is not too easy =/

so Living it out:

hmmm I thought hard about this one - 

Theresa: "Should I go to school dressed like a man?" 

Mimi: "You're a nut!"

okkaayyy... that's out.. ummm 

Theresa: "live the life of a hermit?"

Theresa's Conscience: "Don't commit to something you know you can't do"

Well then!!!.... I guess it'll be a day of prayer then

Which is actually pretty good cuz lately I've been spending more time in prayer because of all these amazing eremitcal saints haha. You guys rock!

This is intense prayerlife conditioning for Theresa lol

Well that's all for today... I'm dead tired and my writting today took on a weird format (did you notice?)
