St. Cecilia Comments
In the fourth century appeared a Greek religious romance on the Loves of Cecilia and Valerian, written, like those of Chrysanthus and Daria, Julian and Basilissa, in glorification of the virginal life, and with the purpose of taking the place of the sensual romances of Daphnis and Chloe, Chereas and Callirhoe, etc., which were then popular.

Dear St. Cicilia, Please intercede for me and my family.
nice a saint that good in music. Its true a welcome to us you having a woman saint. No one ca blame but i love this true.
I love the name becuase of one Rev. Sis Cecilia i use to know, tho' she too is late, after then i got to read the history of saint Cecilia and fall more in love with the name and the saint, so,I choosed the name as my confirmation name. I'm also a singer in my church. I pray that God help me to live a holy life like St. Cecilia, She is my role model. St Cecilia, Pray for me.
St. Cecilia's martyrdom was all too awful tragedy. Only the romanticism is acceptable in Japan.St. Cecilia everlasting. Amen.
i'm thankful to my parents for choosing this name for me. Would love to follow St Cecilia's example in my life. To love God & share His love with everyone all d days of my life, that all may know, love & serve Him, for the salvation of all mankind & inheritance of His Kingdom. Live for God & die for God. "Eternal life is true life"
Dear St. Cecilia, sweet saint and martyr pray for all children that they may truly love and turn to Jesus and His holy Mother. Pray that they may never abandon their faith, given to them in the holy Sacrament of Baptism. St. Cecilia, music is very much part of our family. Thank you for that. May we use our gifts to sing praise to God in the church choir and to play the organ at Mass. Amen.
My name is Cecilia, i am proud for the gifts given to me from our Lord, i love music and i can play the piano. I pray to the Lord for the souls of those who murder her, she certaintly, didn't deserve to be hurt ever. The Lord is magnanimus and she sees and supervise everyones deeds, when Jesus come back again those whom hurt any Cecilia in the world will have to explain it to Jesus son of God. I think is a beautiful name that imply also justice, being blind allows to recieve other gifts that can bring God and human justice. Happy Birthday to every Cecilia in the world, buy yourself roses and lilies and sing, sing music to please, the Lord.
Cecilia P. Cole, M.A.
I am choosing Cecilia for my confirmation name and I have to do a project on it and I need to know if she had any siblings or went to school or not. Please help me by getting this information.
thank you ! I have a poem i wrote about her if anyone cares...
I love St. Cecilia she is very inspiring and i will be picking her for my confirmation saint. :)
being a singer, its not just singing but singing to convert others into true worshipers
encouraging enough, in fact more than enough.
I'm choosing St. Cecilia for my confirmation saint.
I love Saint Cecilia. One reason is because my name is Cecilia and once you realize how much she has done and how much she went through to be with God, it's heartfelt and it's toughing. As it is with other martyrs and saints to.
