I found this lovely quote this morning at Amy Welborn’s blog:
When you fill my soul I have an even greater hunger, and I grow more famished for your light. I desire above all to see you, the true light, as you really are.
– St. Catherine of Siena, from the 4/29 Office of Readings – her feast.
Kendall Harmon posted this wonderful prayer for St. Catherine’s feast day yesterday:
Everlasting God, who didst so kindle the flame of holy love in the heart of blessed Catherine of Siena, as she meditated on the passion of thy Son our Savior, that she devoted her life to the poor and the sick, and to the peace and unity of the Church: Grant that we also may share in the mystery of Christ’s death, and rejoice in the revelation of His Glory, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
