St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380), the youngest of 25 children, dedicated her whole life to serving God and the Church as a Dominican tertiary. Her reputation for sanctity and common sense soon made her the confidant of bishops, popes and kings. But there have always been questions and stories about her that make it difficult to separate fact from fiction. For example, as a virtual illiterate, how could she have created the spiritual masterpieces that culminated in her being declared a Doctor of the Church? To recapture the life of this holy woman who was so influential in bringing the Popes back to Rome from Avignon, Lavinia Byrne allows her to tell her own story. Part I captures her early years; Part II reveals the wisdom of her spiritual insights; and Part III contains her prayers and writings. |
