A young Roman noblewoman of the third century who consecrated her virginity to Christ on her wedding day. She converted her husband Valerian and his brother Tiburtius before all three were martyred. Tradition says she sang in her heart even on the way to execution.

St Cecilia, pray that every song we sing — even the ones with broken voices — may be heard by the Beloved.
