While on trial for practicing Christianity in pagan Rome, the young virgin Cecilia was asked to state her name. She replied, “Men call me Cecilia, but my most beautiful name is that of Christian.” The interrogator, Almachius, grew impatient with her defiance and stated, “Are you ignorant of my power?” To which Cecilia retorted, “And do you know who is my protector and my spouse? The Lord Jesus Christ.” At the end of the trial Cecilia was executed for her fidelity to Christ. Today, most people associate the name of St. Cecilia with her connection to music, but we should remember that her whole being was caught up in a continual song of praise to her Lord. Cecilia’s life centered on her firm identity in Christ, her total trust in God’s plan and the joy that comes from belonging totally to Christ.
