        Emerentiána virgo Romana, collactanea beátæ Agnetis, adhuc catechumena, fide et caritate
        flagrans, furéntes in Christiános idolórum cultores cum vehementius accusaret, a concitáta
        multitúdine lapidibus óbruta est. Quæ in cruciátibus orans ad sepúlcrum sanctæ Agnetis,
        proprio sánguine, quem pro Christo constanter effudit, baptizata, ánimam Deo réddidit.

        Emerentiana was a Roman maiden, and the foster-sister of the blessed Agnes. While she was
        still a Catechumen she was inspired by her faith and love to rebuke the fury of the
        idol-worshippers against the Christians, whereupon a mob assembled, and stoned her so
        severely that she was only able to drag herself to the grave of holy Agnes, where, while
        she prayed, she gave up her soul to God, being baptized, not in water, but in her own
        blood, so freely shed for Christ.
