St. Catherine of Siena (1347 – 1380)

“Eternal Trinity, Godhead, You could give me no greater gift than the gift of Yourself. For You are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being. Yes, You are a fire that takes away coldness, illuminates the mind with its light, and causes me to know Your truth. You are beauty and wisdom itself.”

-Adapted from a prayer of St. Catherine of Siena

Today’s Reflection

Today, I will take a few moments to meditate on this prayer of St. Catherine and see what the Lord speaks to me through it.
