was born in 13th-century Tuscany. At the age of six, Agnes began trying to convince her parents to allow her to join a convent. She was finally admitted to the Dominican convent at Montepulciano at age nine.
Agnes' reputation for holiness attracted other sisters, and she became an abbess at the unheard of age of 15. She insisted on greater austerities in the abbey. She lived on bread and water for 15 years, slept on the ground and used a stone for a pillow. It was said that she had visions of the Virgin Mary and that in her visions angels gave her Communion. She also had a vision in which she was holding the infant Jesus. When she awoke from her trance, she she was holding the small gold crucifix the infant Jesus was wearing.
She died in 1317. Miracles have been reported at her tomb. When her body was moved to a church years after her death, it was found incorrupt. And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying,"We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us." The God of our fathers raised Jesus whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
Jesus spoke of the “one from above”, and in doing so, He was referring to Himself. Jesus was saying that He came from God – from above – and therefore, He was able to speak for God. Jesus had seen what He was declaring. Those who accepted what Jesus was saying and believed in Jesus would have eternal life. Jesus concluded by saying that those who did not believe Him brought judgment on themselves.
