Ohhh...love all this info on St Catherine...Hi Anne,<br />Ohhh...love all this info on St Catherine! Out of the quotes you put up my favorite was:<br />""You are she who is not. I am He who is." It tickled my funny bone! Bishop Hying's words about the ebb and flow of our spiritual life were helpful to me also because I go through these ups and downs as well. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this, Anne!

I love St. Catherine. She is one of the first Saints whom I read about after my adult "conversion." I was fascinated by how "real" her relationship with God was. I don't know if it was mentioned, but she had the stigmata as well, although she begged Jesus that it not be visible to others. It appeared after her death. I'm also struck by the fact that she was the 24th or so child in her family. What if her parents had quit after two children? Something to think about! Her body is incorrupt...amazing after so many centuries. I know you read everything, so you've probably read her Dialogue It is such perfect reading for Lent that I think I'll get out my copy and keep it close by. Thanks for remnding me about this glorious woman! <br /><br />" It was almost as if a fiery explosion propelled her into the world, and like a meteor she flew through the heavens and then sparked out." How perfect!<br /><br />Blessed Lent to you dear Anne! xoPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16544210857236830904noreply@blogger.com
