BLESSED AGNES OF LIÈGE AND COMPANIONS, VIRGINS
Agnes, Ozilia and Isabella (or Elisabeth) were companions of the holy Juliana, a prioress of the monastery of Mons Cornelii near Liège.
When the latter left her monastery to move to Namur, these three Virgins accompanied her. All of them passed to their eternal reward before Juliana did.
Additionally, each of them is honoured on their own special day: Agnes, who is said to have died at Saussigni near Namur, on January 21; Ozilia on January 3 and Isabella (Elisabeth) on November 19. Some writers list these Virgins among the "blessed."
