“Normal....
What the majority of people look, act, and talk and like.
So what if the majority became what we see as wierd now?
Would our normal, become our new wierd?”
Catherine
“Since I am determined to join myself to God, I find that I am also bound to be the enemy of his enemies. And since I find nothing that is more his enemy than the self that is me, I am constrained to hate this part of me more than any other.”
Catherine of Genoa
“God created
the soul pure, simple and clean of all stain of sin, with a certain
beatific instinct towards Himself whence original sin, which the soul finds
in itself, draws it away, and when actual is added to original sin the soul
is drawn yet further away. The further it departs from its beatific
instinct, the more malignant it becomes because it corresponds less to God.”
St. Catherine of Genoa, The Treatise on Purgatory
“If a man could see what awaits him in the next world in return for work well done, he would occupy his intellect, memory and will only in performing good deeds, not paying attention to whatever hardship he might have to endure.”
St. Catherine of Genoa
