Aquila was a Jewish tentmaker. He and his wife Prisca or Priscilla were forced to leave Rome when Emperor Claudius forbade Jews to live there. They went to Corinth, where St. Paul lived with them during his stay there and may have converted them to Christianity. They accompanied Paul to Ephesus and remained there; Paul stayed with them on his third missionary journey. They then returned to Rome, where there house was also used as a church and then went back to Ephesus. They suffered martyrdom in Asia Minor, according to the Roman Martyrology but a tradition has them martyred in Rome. Their feast day is July 8th.

I feel a kinship with St. Priscilla that CANNOT be rationally explained. Is it because her feast day(and that of her husband/fellow martyr Aquila) falls a week after my own birthday of July 1? Or is it because we are both converts? I don't KNOW- it's as if she's saying in effect to me "Come to me, Terry, I wish to draw you closer not just to my own heart, but to that of our mutual Maker, God himself- my offer is completely sincere!"
