How do I know if I’m living an authentic Christian life?
Where can we find the guidance we need as we walk along our paths to God?
Catherine of Siena, a Doctor of the Church, guides us to the truth of loving without measure for the sake of Christ. Her life inspires readers to deepen their own spiritual lives as they strive for holiness. This book incorporates her letters as well as The Dialogue.
Saint Catherine of Siena, T.O.S.D. was a tertiary of the Dominican Order, and a Scholastic philosopher and theologian. She also worked to bring the papacy of Gregory XI back to Rome from its displacement in France, and to establish peace among the Italian city-states. Since 18 June 1866 she is one of the two patron saints of Italy, together with St. Francis of Assisi. On 3 October 1970 she was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Paul VI, and on 1 October 1999 Pope John Paul II named her as a one of the six patron saints of Europe, together with Benedict of Nursia, Saints Cyril and Methodius, Bridget of Sweden and Edith Stein.
