Torch: St. Catherine of Siena
Today, we celebrate the feast day of?St. Catherine of Siena. Born in 1347, she lived during a time of great turmoil in the Church and society, and she became known for her mystical experiences, spiritual writings, and tireless efforts to bring peace and reform to the Church.
Catherine's most famous work is "The Dialogue," a book that she dictated to her followers, in which she describes her mystical experiences and conversations with God.

Check out this newly released SEEK talk from Fr. Mike Schmitz where he brings to mind the ways in which we can live a life for Christ and others. Don't let Christ's sacrifice go to waste.
Catherine’s devotion to the precious blood is ultimately an expression of her desire to draw near to Jesus. To be awash in his precious blood is to be surrounded by him, to be enclosed by his love.
Jason Evert, the founder of the Chastity Project, discusses how to be the man that God wants us to be.?

1 年St. Catherine is a great role model for lay Catholics. If anyone wants to explore her Dialogue in more detail, I recommend listening to Father Ignatius at the Dominican House of Prayer who is doing a series of reflections on the book.
