Flower Meaning

Every flower has a root, a stem and a blossom; this last is the fairest of the three. And it is just the same with the glorious flower which the three theological virtues combine to form. From the root, which is faith, springs the stem, which is hope, and the lovely flower of charity crowns them both.

– Rev. Frances Lasance, Catholic Girl’s Guide

 

…it is the birthday of holy Agnes: let men be filled with wonder, little ones with hope, married women with awe, and the unmarried with emulation.

St. Ambrose
