Praxédes, virgo Romana, Pudentiánæ vírginis soror, Marco Antonino imperatóre Christiános
|
|
persequente, eos facultátibus, opera, consolatióne, et omni caritátis officio prosequebátur.
|
|
Nam alios domi occultábat; alios ad fidei constantiam hortabátur: aliórum córpora sepeliebat;
|
|
iis, qui in carcere inclusi erant, qui in ergástulis exercebántur, nulla re déerat. Quæ, cum
|
|
tantam Christianórum stragem jam ferre non posset, Deum precáta est, ut, si mori expediret,
|
|
se e tantis malis eríperet. Itaque duodecimo Kalendas Augusti ad pietátis præmia vocátur in
|
|
cælum. Cujus corpus a Pastore presbytero in patris et sororis Pudentiánæ sepúlcrum illátum
|
|
est, quod erat in cœmeterio Priscillæ, via Salaria.

This Praxedes was a maiden of Rome, and the sister of the maiden Pudentiana. When the
|
|
Emperor Marcus Antoninus was hunting down the Christians, she followed them constantly with
|
|
money, labour, comfort, and every helpful office of Christian charity. Some she hid in her
|
|
house, some she exhorted to firmness in professing the faith, of some she buried the bodies.
|
|
For them that were in prison, and them that were toiling in slavery, she supplied every need.
|
|
At last the sight of such butchery of Christians was more than she could bear, and she
|
|
implored God that if it were expedient for her to die, He would release her from such
|
|
suffering. And so upon the 21st day of July she was called away to receive the reward of her
|
|
godly conversation in heaven. Pastor the Priest laid her body in the grave of her father
|
|
(Pudens) and her sister Pudentiana, which was in the cemetery of Priscilla, upon the Salarian
|
|
Way.
